1997 850 N/A - Brake Fluid Flush, n-e-thing to worry about?

Post by dville_gt »

Going to be doing a complete brake overhaul, new front and rear rotors and pads, figure this is a good time to flush out all the old fluid. Anything to worry about, or just bleed each wheel till I see the new fluid come though?

Thanks in advance!

You've got the procedure correct. I used the ATE Super Blue brake fluid so that I could tell when the new stuff was there.
