Heres how to change the brake fluid on a vehicle with 4 wheel disc brakes.\r

This is a one-man bleed setup using a 3/16 ID hose stuck into a water bottle. The hose is routed up the strut tower and then down into the bottle to prevent air bubbles from entering the system. The brake pedal is depressed a few times to speed up the bleeding. Suck the old brake fluid out from the reservoir using a turkey baster and replenish with fresh fluid.\r

Take car not to run the master cylinder below the low level mark. Otherwise it will run dry and introduce more air into the system.\r

On some vehicles it is useful to cycle the ABS on slippery pavement and then re-bleed in order to revive brake pedal feel.
