Re: [DML] Re: Brake Fluid DOT 5




I second David T's comments about being sure the old DOT 4 fluid is
drained before installing DOT 5.  That's a good practice for changing 
old DOT 4 to new DOT 4 as well as 4 to 5 but even more important with
conversion to DOT 5.  

I had not considered the flushing with alcohol but did drain lines,
remove & drain wheel cylinders (to get rid of trapped old fluid), then
flushed until the color change to DOT 5 was apparent.  I plan to do
another flush in 6 months or less (may be overkill but what's $20 for
new fluid and an hour's time).

I also plan to do the flex line replacement prior to the next flush,
not only for firm brake response but also to eliminate easy-to-replace
23 year old parts.
