when i got new brake fluid i replaced the whole lot just so there was better fluid in there cause the fluid it came with was just cr**, not sure if you can mix the fluids, i dont see why not but id bleed em if i was doin it

ya better off to bleed your old fluid out.....its most probably just some crappy stuff......masterspoon made a vid about it watch it and you will have no prob

Yeah bleed it out it'll only take a few minutes and you'll notice the difference. Its not a big job at all

the new fluid will only be as good as wat u mix it with. Just use a good clear tube and u will see the new stuff coming through the line. it only takes 5 mins.

you can just drain tha lot and let it sit and replace it then and let a bit dribble in to a container (an ice cream comntainer will work) and the tighten it up at the calaper.and then at the lever

well i drained it and it went good lol

but i learnt my lesson and it was not to look down at the main cylinder and press the break or it will squirt into ur eyes lol

painful but yh im orite lol
