+1ed for new technique learned.

Now would it be a bad thing if I put some DOT5 fluid in there? I know I can get it at Monument.... Or should I stick with the DOT3?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Yep and keep repeating till it comes out of all 4 callipers clean!

If it doesn't, replace your old crappy brake lines!!!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

That is in the works JAV. Im gonna look into some stanless steel lines. I know someone local can fab me some cheap

Once it's clean you can use any fluid you like!

Make sure you flush ALL of the Metho out with clean new fluid before you try to bleed the system. (might take 1/2> 1 qt to do)

Out of the hair from your back?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

IJ Sounds good! Ill let everyone know how it goes... I have a bottle of some DOT3 in my trunk Ill use to flush the metho out before I add the good stuff

JAV no! I just got some shaving cream from my bestest buddies (props yo) and im gonna shave my beard. My back isnt bad....

 

[IJ.]

no no no no!! and NO!

Get all the same fluid!

ie: Not flush with dot3 and bleed with dot5 this is bad mmmkay!

Give the 3 to someone else and but 2 qt's of 5 to use, I used Motul 5.1 in mine and it's been great!

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

IJ stop yelling.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I figured that would be the answer. Jennnnnnnnnnnnyyy. Want some brake fluid?

Ill plan on buying 2 quarts then. Hope 10$ works lol.

Why, did you suddenly go broke?

 

[IJ.]

The 5.1 gives a bit better service life, you can get better racing fluid but it needs to be changed more often and costs more.

I haven't boiled the 5.1 no matter how hard I work the brakes so it's a good compromise, track days on slicks may be another matter though.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Ive always been broke. I gots a 10 in my wallet. Maybe ill sell Jenny that fluid for like 3$. hmmm

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

But to avoid the Cletus picture from IJ im gonna do this right. So i may need to "borrow" monies

 

[IJ.]

Ummmm errrrr ahhhh ya might want to keep the 3 and buy some more then as you might get an empty 5.1 bottle for $10

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Hah. Well it all comes down to what my discount can get me! Maybe Ill get some DOT4... Is there such thing? lol

 

[IJ.]

Yep but still looking at $70+ for enough dot4 to do the job properly!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Ill stick with the 3 then. I never knew it was that pricey... But I guess buying it in quanity will do that eh?

Oh well. Once I go stinless lines, better pads and good rotors front and rear i might as well do my fluid the right way eh?

 

[IJ.]

Flushed and clean dot3 will be fine!

Your current fluid is probably 1/4 water by now depending on how long it's been in there!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Looks like forever. Its almost black. I cant believe i neglected the brake fluid as I did lol. The brakes could of gone out mid corner... Not when I was stopping at a stop sign...

Lesson kiddies. Dont let the little things pass under the radar!

You sure that's not just criminal island aussie prices?

Didn't think it cost that much, but then again I always use 3.
