How often
should I do it? Every year per the manual. How often have I done it? Once since '04
Installed a rebuilt master cylinder (original was leaking), bled while new MC was installed on the car. Found out I have a slightly cracked brake hose on right rear.
My mechanic also washed the brake fluid reservoir with DOT 4 to flush the gunk inside.
Do you guys recommend regular rubber brake hoses (standard replacement) or stainless steel braided lines?
