Default Brake Fluid Flush

Does anyone have the instructions for flushing out the brake fluid? I did a search and didn't find anything helpful. Thanks!

Same as bleeding the brakes, just pump and watch until new fluid comes out. And MAKE SURE the master cyl does not empty

It is the same procedure as bleeding the brakes.

The difference is first you siphon as much fluid out of the reservoir as you can and replace with new fluid.

Then you bleed the brakes till you get clean, clear, new fluid at each wheel.

Some find it easier to do by changing brands of fluid so they can see the color change easier.

ATE makes a regular DOT4 and a Racing DOT4 that are really the same except for color.
