Brake Fluid Flush

[firecadet613]

Well I finally got my brake fluid flushed.  Got a run at 6AM this morning which ruined my plans of sleeping in until 9 or so, so after I got back from that at 7 I headed to Midas to get my brake fluid flushed.  More like changed out but it looks a ton better now.  I was out watching/helping for the majority of it.  They lifted my Blazer up and opened up the brake bleeder screws on each wheel.  For about an hour or so they let it all bleed out and just kept refilling the master cylinder as it needed.  They then closed all the bleeder screws and opened one at a time while someone was in my truck applying the brakes and purged them out that way, closing the screw as clear/clean fluid came rushing out.  Not to bad for the $40 it cost me.  The fluid in my master cylinder is clean now, it was black/brown last night.  I highly recommened it, doesn't take to long or cost that much.  I did however think that they would have hooked it up to a machine somehow that would have flushed new brake fluid through the system...kinda like a tranny flush.  Thats the next thing I'm gonna get done and I think I'm gonna have the dealership handle that.
