Brake flush is done --- yeah!!! That wasn't too bad. Everyone remember the first pic of Coda? Well, I used my shop turkey baster to remove the old brake fluid from the reservoir, wipe out the inside of the reservoir, filled with Valvoline DOT 3&4, then started on the passenger rear wheel. I took that wheel off, but decided I could do it with the other wheels on. The stuff that came out looked like darkish honey, but still translucent. I pumped until I got nice newish looking fluid.

Remember to do one wheel at a time, start with the wheel fartherest from the reservoir, and REMEMBER to top up the reservoir between wheels. I was using the one many system......maybe next time, I'll have some help. I had a volunteer in my household AFTER I was finished.

Coda's brake fluid is good to go:



Here's a pic I took when I first got her.
Please notice the brake fluid reservoir, and the everything else that
is dirty under the hood.
