brake fluid change questions

[00pathyse]

I was thinking about changing my brake fluid. I've never done this procedure on any vehicle I've owned and I was wondering how difficult it is. Is there anyone out there that has done this before that can give me a step by step? Thanks for any info.

This guide explains it fairly well. Be sure to follow the correct bleeding order, which is:

1. LSV air bleeder (4WD models only)
2. Left rear brake
3. Right rear brake
4. Left front brake
5. Right front brake

Use any DOT3 or DOT4 fluid. If you have a manual, bleed the clutch master cylinder at this time as well; steps are identical.

I bought a set of Speed Bleeders to do one-man brake bleeding, but I haven't installed them yet as I haven't had the time to do so and flush the fluid during installation.

Thanks for the link.

I have no idea what a LSV bleeder is. Any idea what size clear plastic vinyl tube will fit over the bleed valve?

I believe 3/16" inner diameter will fit, not completely sure though.
