    Brake Bleeding...Pressure VS Vacuum and Preferred DIY Kits?

    I read somewhere that the the idea of pressurized canisters full of brake fluid (Speedi, Motive, etc) is a crazy ridiculous idea! Why…. because using silicone hoses and simple worm gear hose clamps is a catastrophe waiting to happen!!! Think bursting hose spraying brake fluid all over and...

    Brake Bleeding...Pressure VS Vacuum and Preferred DIY Kits?

    Curious.....why would you not fill and use the reservoir...seems like it would save time and not run the risk of having MC reservoir running too low and allowing air into system.

    Brake Bleeding...Pressure VS Vacuum and Preferred DIY Kits?

It has the 2.5L four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine with Dual VVT-i, delivering 176 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque. I avoided the CVT trans that appeared in...
