Hi.

I want to change my brakes fluid, and was wondering what to do...

Should I just take the wheels off, and disconnect the lines and wait till it goes empty (Do I have to disconnect all 4 corners?)?
How long would that take since it drips when you disconnect lines....?
And what about calipers? Do I need to somehow empty those as well?
And finally, when bleeding the lines after refilling, do I need to use some special tool (bottle with tube) or can I just open the bleed valves until it stops bubbling?

Thanks for your help.

Why do you need to replace the brake fluid?

Bleed them furthest wheel from the master cylinder and work your way closer.
Refilling is reverse process

to flush just start bleeding till the fliud coming out is the same as whats going into the master cylinder (should be color difference if yours is as old as mine was ....) start at the furtherest from the master cylinder and bleed all the wheels

This is what I do...
first you'll need to get Russell speed bleeders...

put the car on jacks (all four corners)
remove the tires
then one brake at a time starting with the rear passenger bleed them. about 3-5 cycles of short and deep presses should do it for each corner
and oh.. make sure you have a see through hose and a bottle to bleed into.
you'll be able to see in the hose if there's any air bubbles left

This job is best done if you have a helper handy to pump the brake pedal. Makes the job far easier...
