Yeesh! if you start hearing noises from the brakes, INSPECT them!!!

the rear brakes on my SD started making a squeel last week, so I put up a mental note to check them out, well wednesday I started hearing more noise from back there when I would hit the brakes gently... so I pull off the wheels, and look everything over with a new set of pads to go in... well I got my money's worth out of THOSE pads... odd thing is the outer pads on both sides of the car were MUCH thinner than the inner side... odd. also the rotors had a good ridge... I guess I will need to replace those pretty soon...
anyway, I decided to check the brake fluid... don't think I EVER flushed it on the SD... 7 years... oops. anyway, that stuff was rank and chunky... I am SO glad it was not siezed. I flushed the accessible resivoir, but could not get to the front tank... how do you clean out the front tank on the MC???
