Flush Entire Brake System

[Cowboy09]

Does anyone know how to do this by yourself on a 90? I'm familiar with how to bleed the front end, but I don't know much about doing a system flush. In other words, I'm pretty ignorant about the drum system

The rear has bleed screws too. Bleed them the same way you would the front. Start out by removing as much old fluid from the master cylinder. Fill with fresh fluid. Begin bleeding brakes. Add clean fluid as needed to MC. When you get clean fluid at each wheel you're done.

Where are they at? Last time I was down there I didn't see them.

Locate where the brake line enters at the wheel. Right above it should be a bleed screw.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Any tips on flushing the system easily?

As an update to anyone that might read this, I finally got this done with the help of harbor freight and their $5 tool here: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Disp...temnumber=37201

 

You could likely easily make one of these yourself, but I didn't feel like it and happened to be at HF anyway. You attach the tube to the bottle, then attach the handy magnetic bottle to somewhere lower than the drain plug. I used one of the spike tips on the other end- just open the bleeder enough that it flows through it, then cram the spike tip into it to make a seal. Pump the brake a few times and watch for air and nasties in the fluid to go away. Watch both your master reservoir and the bleeder bottle- the bottle fills up quick. By myself, with a bunch of back and forth, I flushed the system in less than 20 minutes.

 

On another note, I did try the speed bleeders and they're pretty cool and work as advertised. Make sure you know the thread size you need before you buy them though.

For 1 man bleeding the best way is a vacuum or pressure bleeder. Pull vacuum at the bleeder screw and open the screw, or pressurize the master cylinder reservoir with the proper equipment and open the bleeder screw.
