My mechanic says I can replace the fluid by opening the system on the lower end and allowing gravity to do it's work while I simply pour it in at the reservior. Anybody have any thoughts on this?? I haven't even looked at the system yet...........is there a bleeder screw at the lower end?? Dot 4??
Thanks!

 

Download the manual and check it.

Actually I was speaking to a mechanic and he swears the best way to bleed brakes to is crack open the lines, leave it for a while (While keeping it topped up) and just let gravity work.

 

That'sthe way I've bled brakes and clutches for a long time now. Just be sure you don't let the reservoir run dry or you'll end up with more air in the line.

 

I don't know, but perhaps the Dual Combined Braking System of the late generation Hurricane might be the exception to gravity doing its work?

 

I've always pressure bled all my vehicles. It's quick, accurate & gives the best results as you can feel what is happening as you do it. One helpful trick is to use some clear plastic tube off the end of the bleeder running into a container with a little fluid in the bottom. That way you see bubbles (air), color change (fresh fluid) & if you release the lever accidentally with the bleeder open you suck back fluid not air. I'm also usually in a hurry & refuse to wait for gravity.
