Follow the link so you can see a picture of my brake fluid reservoir. I just want to know if this is a normal color for brake fluid in Hondas?

If it should be almost clear the using a vacumm brake bleeder do you just hook it up to the front bleed screw and pull the trigger until clean fluid comes out? Of course making sure that the fluid never emptys out of the reservoir. Then you switch to the other front bleed screw and do the same right?

Any particular order you need to follow to make sure some of the dirty fluid doesn't stay in the line? My fluid has always been this orange brown color from day 1 and I am just wondering if that is the color from Honda or if the dealer I bought it from this year left the fluid in there from 2004.

 

what link?

i believe brake fluid should be clear...seeing as this is close on my list of things "to-do" (gonna paint my calipers)...i have read a lot about it and yes, what you described as how to bleed is correct...you should essentially continue to bleed until you see fresh brake fluid come out...beit whatever color that is ......if you use a vaccum bleeder...once you see the new stuff come out....there isn't any "old" left...it's out....

 

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!
