Although I am replacing my brake tubing with stainless, I am not sure that the other components (wheel cylinders, calipers, Master cylinder) contain the correct rubber types for DOT 5. I looks like I'll need to go to a regular schedule of fluid change out. Can anyone recommend an easy to use, lower cost vacuum type bleeder? Blue 666 A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
