How to Replace Car Brake Fluid by Yourself?

[DaniellaMarie]

Here are the detailed steps to replace car brake fluid by yourself: 1. Drain the old brake fluid from the reservoir and fill it with new brake fluid. 2. Have one person press the brake pedal (2-3 times) and hold it down, while another person loosens the bleeder screw on the brake caliper below to allow fluid to flow out. 3. When the pedal drops to the bottom, close the bleeder screw. 4. Repeat this process several times until new fluid flows out. Keep adding fluid to the reservoir to prevent air from entering. 5. Follow this procedure for all four wheels. 6. Locate the two brake lines on the master cylinder in the engine compartment. Use a line wrench to loosen them until brake fluid flows out. When the reservoir is empty of brake fluid, tighten the two lines.
