<VV> Brake Question

[George Jones]

Just start bleeding them. The process of bleeding transfers the fluid
through the lines and into the cylinders. Start from the farthest cylinder
from the master cylinder and work your way to the left front. Keep the
master cylinder topped off after each bleed, and keep the cap on the bottle
as well as the master cylinder. DOT 3 Brake fluid, by design, absorbs water,
and if it is exposed to air it will begin to absorb moisture from the air. I
know I'm going to catch a lot of flack from that last recommendation, but
that advice came directly from one of the Wagner Brake Products engineers.
He also told me to buy brake fluid in the smallest container available, and
discard the remainder when your job is done. Only keep factory sealed fluid
on the shelf.
