I have ordered the fronts. They should be in Tuesday. I was pondering doing the rears as well but decided that they could wait a week or two... Am I wrong in thinking this way? There seems to be small, what looks to be dirt-like grains (rust?) in the fluid that I was getting out of the rears, but I did a pretty thurough job bleeding/flushing until the fluid came out clear with no deposits. I am assuming that these deposits are what fouled the front hoses. I really wish the previous owner would have followed the recomended service schedule instead of the American auto type of run the fluid until you have to replace the expensive parts, then change it...

argh

Thanks again for the help.
