If you've had your a car a few years and never flushed the brake lines......YOU ARE DO!

Brake fluid by its nature absorbs water, so over time, as it absorbs moisture, it looses its effectiveness as a hydralic oil, and braking suffers and also the moisture can corrode brake parts.

Its not hard I just did mine last weekend. There are many ways to do it: the, old two-person, one pumps the other opens the bleeder valve method, vacuum pump method, thats what I used and the pressure pump on top of the master cylinder. All work fine. The important thing is you do it!

Start at the farthest tire and flush the nasty brown out with new DOT 3 fluid until it runs clean and clear.

I noticed mine gained a little firmness in the brake pedal.
