Brake Flush

Just flushed the brake system on my SC. Some nasty stuff came out. Nice clean in. Pumped the first quart on the ground. Didn't plug overflow. Got the second quart in! Now, for the 944.

Hey Robert,
If the old fluid was really nasty, then you probably want to bleed the calipers again after a day or so of driving.

Initial flush will not get the old fluid in the pistons. A couple of heat cycles and operation will stir things up a bit - bleed 'em again to get the remaining nastyness out.

Well, we ended up flushing the fluid on 3 944s and 1 911. Also topped up the r12 charge on one of the 44s and changed the gearlube. A goooood day!
