[Shotimes] Help! Rear Brakes

[Bruce Malachuk]

Yeah you really ought to flush the fluid out. Go to NAPA or AZ and pick
up 2 sets of speedbleeder screws. Then flush the system out really good.
You'll be amazed at what kind of difference that will make. I think they
are M10X1.0mm size but I'm not 100% on that. I can flush/bleed my brakes
in like 15 min all 4 usually without removing the tires.

If you are at the point that you need new pads, it's also time to flush
the
brake fluid.

Thanks, I finally figured out the trick of the loaner tool and got it.
I 
had too much compression dialed in and it was preventing the tool from 
rotating.

The un-opened can of brake fluid I thought I had, I didn't, so I was
trying 
to avoid opening the system.
