Make sure you clean the cap and reservoir so that nothing gets inside and contaminate the fluid.

 

Not required, but if you're doing it outdoors, at least drape a clean rag over it so stuff isn't blown in by the wind.

we use them on bikes...

they are on my wife's GTI, all of our hydraulic braked Vespas, and they are going on the Disco.

 

I put a set of those on one of my Land Rovers back in the 70's. A little while in VT winters and the they turned to lumps of rust. Looks like they now have stainless steel ones. So $60 for one vehicle. Cheaper to get a Motive Power pressure bleeder.

Thanks Spike,
This is very useful information to flush the brake fluid.It can be very helpful to stop the bleeding of brake fluid.

made in the RAVE, but which no one has mentioned here: they want you to bleed them in a *specific order* -- presumably, shortest to longest pipe run.

That order, for LHD cars, is RF, LF, RR, LR (and I've checked that 3 times to make sure I didn't mistype it; it's on page 70-31).

On further reflection, it's probably *not* shortest pipe run; the brake machinery on an LHD is on the left firewall and fender wall. Hmmm...

 

Depending on how old and rusty the caliper is, you may have to use an 11mm line wrench on the bleeder screw. i almost rounded them off using a box wrench.

This may be a stupid question, but....I just replaced the calipers on my 04 and was wondering if I needed to flush all the lines or just the front drivers and passengers

 

I was just going to post this. When I was looking through there it stood out to me that they work front to back which is opposite from 99% of the other cars on the road.
