which first: pads or fluid?
Hi, I am going to replace the brake fluid and also the front pads.
Which one shall I do first, and why? Thanks. |

Thanks. > do them both at the same time. you need to squeeze the piston back into the caliper anyway to change the pads, so it's the ideal opportunity to change the fluid if you squeeze the pads with the bleed valve open. that way, you're not forcing old fluid back up into the master cylinder and you're ensuring maximum volume change in the caliper. |

I'd flush the brake fluid so when you push back the pistons, you are
pushing clean fluid back. Check out the Power Bleeder. www.motiveproducts.com |
