Fuel filter for 24 is worth it. The filter itself is about 15 dollars at your local auto parts store. Changing it sux b/c fuel gets everywhere, not to mention if you Fcuk up its going to be costly. |

Not too bad on the price...what I do is use a turkey baster and suck out all the brake fluid out In the master..then replace with new fluid..then bleed all the breaks and refill up with new fluid.. |

I would do it at that price. Perry did my fuel filter while I was getting headers done. I have the power brake bleeder that hooks onto your master cylinder and forces new fluid through your lines. I hook it up, open up my brake lines and wait for the fluid to drain out. Simple. |

Take a water bottle drill the cap out and stick a vac line on it and the other vac line end onto the bleeder I invented this so u don't get brake fliud on your suspension and other things since the fluid will eat through anything even por15 U can make 4 of these and do all 4 corners break them loose and let it gravity bleed as u add new fluid in the master so it don't get air in the lines. Mess free and easy wham bam thank u big tited mam. |

if you guys do the gravity bleed, how long does it usually take for the old crap to come out? |

i agree, i just run some line from each brake bleeder to one bucket, then press the brake pedal and add more as i am doing it. they also have a vacuum machine that does it fast and easy. |
