Hmm,

I would certainly say that if your not sure about it DONT DO IT!!!!

Brakes are fairly simple if you know what your doing, but if you dont then you can be asking for trouble, especially when you need them and they arnt there!!!!!!

Brake bleeding and fluid changing can be buggers, especially if like me you still have the splitter in after your master cylinder. The sludge is dirt and breakdown in the fluid, which happens as the fluid gets hot and cold from braking.

Over time brake fluid absorbs moisture which leads to the brakes getting softer. Brake fluid is very difficult to compress, which is why it works well in brakes, but the moistre it gathers over time makes the brakes less responsive and "softer"

The worst case scenario is to get air trapped in your brake hoses, as air is easily compressed (and it contains moisture) this will also lead to your brakes being poor.

If you want to change the brake fluid and your not sure, get your favourite mechanic to change it for you, but certainly dont do it if your not confident.

Hope this helps

oh and all these problems can occur with the fluid in the clutch hoses as well, obviously though if you make a pig of it, your clutch aint gonna work as Mr Bloor intended
