Anything to watch out for when draining the braking system? I'm hoping to install some braided hoses and put new fluid in at the weekend so I want to drain out the old fluid completely first. I have an gunsons eazibleed so refilling the system should be ok i guess - any suggestions which order to bleed when refilling?

Thanks,
James

I found it easiest to use a bleeding kit to pump the old fluid out. Also don't push the brake pedal too far as you may push the pistons beyond the normal range of travel and damage the seals. Following the recommendations in Bentleys I bled the furthest from the reservior first (rear offside) getting closer until you get to the Front nearside. Its probably worth going around a couple of times.

And of course always test the brakes a very low speed before going out on the road

Good luck

Keep it clear of the paint work, can do serious damage!!

even with a bleed kit dont let the reservoir run low or you will have to bleed the whole system again
