Complete instructions for the process are in the Factory Service Manual, but if you perfer not to acquire the FSM, post your model year.

There is no such thing as a "corrosive brake fluid".

Most brake fluid is hygroscopic and over time moisture develops in the fluid. If the fluid's moisture content gets very high, rust can develop inside the braking system. In fact, that's one of several reasons why periodic flushing is required.

The only brake fluid which is not hygroscopic is DOT 5-rated, silicone-based brake fluid, but do not use DOT 5 fluid in a ZR-1. It is not compatible with the car's ABS.

Mine is a 1992 Hib. What is the correct process? Pull the fuse and relay from the abs and flush away?

Thanks!
