Default Re: Tips or info on brake pad changes or brake fluid change?

It was a disaster changing brake fluid on my mustang... First I tried pumping the brakes with those caliper valve stems that open and close, but so much air got in. Finally I tried pressure bleeding, with a pressure bleeder attached to the main cylinder and all 4 wheels screws open. Nothing quite got all of the air out of the line, it was always a little spongy. I might have to take it to the dealer for that....

As for rotors and pads, I plan on just using OEM type or generic items, I dont race at all.... I'll definately look at low dust options though, sheesh our front wheels get so dirty so fast.
