I have a 2 part question -
1.) Since brake fluid absorbs condensation from the atmosphere, how often should one change their brake fluid? Annually, or...???
2.) To flush all old fluid from the system, I'm thinking I'll buy a brand new turkey baster from the Dollar Store (so I know I'm not contaminating the system) and siphon out most (but not all) of the existing fluid from the reservoir. Then, I'll buy a brand new can of DOT 4 fluid, fill the reservoir and bleed the brakes, wheel by wheel (right-rear, left-rear, right-front and finally left-front), with the help of a friend.
Does this sound about right?
Thank you,
Ed
