brake fluid change

[tx dave]

Hey Guys, been a while since I chimed in. ?? 2001 DM, 275K, original brakes and fluid. Brakes still have good padding but are starting to get a little spongie so I thought I would change the Fluid. Whats the best way to do this at home and what fluid do I use. (Synthetic or Regular)?:)

Use the recommended brake fluid specified in your owner's manual.

To change out the brake fluid, I've heard the Mity-Vac system suggested often:

Just open one brake bleeder at a time, have someone keep the reservoir full, and pull fluid into the Mity-Vac container till the fluid appears clear. Then move to another bleeder.
