Need help with brake fluid
#1
Hate to show my limited mechanical abilities but I dont know the proper way to add brake fluid,
I know there is a way to bleed the air out by adding a tube to the zirk but I forget the details.
My rear brake resevior is compltely dry and I didnt want to just pour the fluid in if someone knows
of that tube trick.

First make sure you can open each bleeder valve (Zirk) without breaking it off, they can be pretty tight.
Second get a buddy. It is much easier.
Start at the cylinder farthest from the master cylinder, normally rear. Have your buddy pump brake and hold pressure on. Slowly loosen bleeder valve to expell air and close again. repeat until only fluid comes out. Make sure master cyl don't go dry or you have to start all over. repeat for each brake cylinder. The reason for the tube is to get the fluid away from painted or any surface it may damage. Like sticking it in a bottle or jar for proper disposal.
