I would use a baster to suck as much fluid out of the reservoir. Be careful=
, brake fluid can eat your paint. Then open up all four brake bleed screws.=
 Good time to flush your system. Yes bench bleed MC.=20
Keep track of any shims between Mc and firewall.=20
Keep everything clean and use latex=C2=A0 gloves.=C2=A0 Check to be sure pu=
shrod pin loop is not elongated, as the wear out.=20
Be sure to open up slave cyl. Too to remove old fluid from clutch=20

Hi All,=20

This week I am going to replace the brake master cylinder, fluid reservoir =
and flexible brake pipes on my BT7. What is the best order to do these thre=
e steps?=20

Reservoir, flexible brake pipes, master cylinder is the route I was going t=
o take.=20

Will I need to bench bleed the MC?=20
Do I need to make any adjustments to the brakes before the bleeding step?=
=20
Should I drain all the fluid out of the system before replacing the reservo=
ir?=20
Any advice welcome.=20
