How to Replace Brake Fluid by Yourself?

[LePhoebe]

Here are the steps to replace brake fluid by yourself: Open the hood: Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and open the hood. Use a syringe to extract the fluid from the reservoir until it's nearly empty. Add new brake fluid: Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid. Use a funnel during pouring to avoid spilling onto the engine compartment, as brake fluid is corrosive. Remove the tire: Use a jack to lift the vehicle, starting with the rear wheels, and remove the tire. Locate the bleed screw: Find the bleed screw on the brake caliper and remove the rubber dust cap. Loosen the bleed screw: Use a wrench to loosen the bleed screw, attach a rubber hose to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle. Start pumping the brake pedal: If two people are working together, one can pump the brake pedal while the other observes the fluid draining. Pay attention to the color of the brake fluid in the rubber hose—old fluid is darker, while new fluid is lighter. If the fluid coming out is light in color, the fluid replacement for that wheel is complete. Stop pumping the brake, reinstall the tire, and repeat the process for the remaining three wheels.
