Good time to do it as brake fluid should be replace every few years to get the moisture and contaminants out of the system.

* Add a quart or so of brake fluid to your list
Never did this, so I went on-line and watched a view videos to get an idea as to how to do it. They used clear tubing to connect to the bleeder valve, bottles to collect the bled fluid and a couple people used a pump. Should I get this stuff or can someone provide it?

And one bottle of fluid should be enough?

I've done it a zillion times.
I can bring the bottle and tubing.

All you'll need to get is a large bottle of brake fluid.

I'm still under the weather, still having tests done, seeing a pulmonary specialist on Friday of this week. I may only be in the old -Ish role, you know, donut eater. LOL I am, at best, tentative.

Snacks would be nice.

I'll spring for pizza for lunch as well as soda. What do people prefer for drinks?

I was informed today that my new job has sales meetings on the second Saturday of every month from 8-noon or so. I'll have to back out from this unless something changes.

Sorry to hear that, Dan. Stop by afterwards if you feel like it. If not, we'll see you at the meeting on the 19th.
