Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Description

NOTE
^ If evidence of contamination is present in the vehicle's brake fluid, the entire brake system must be flushed following one of the procedures outlined below.

^ The system must be flushed if there is any doubt about the condition of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil (from such things as engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.).

^ After flushing the entire brake system, all rubber components must be replaced. Components which must be replaced include: brake hose assemblies, master cylinder rubber parts, brake caliper and wheel cylinder boots and seals, brake modulator, and brake solenoid valves.

^ After all rubber components have been replaced, the entire brake system must be re-flushed following one of the procedures outlined below.

^ Once the second flushing procedure has been performed, a complete system bleed must be performed.

CAUTION:
^ Use only SUPREME 11 or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to components, or loss of braking, with possible personal injury.

^ Overfilling the reservoir must be avoided due to the potential for overflow onto the nearby catalytic converters in the exhaust system. Brake fluid is flammable, and contact with hot exhaust components could result in a fire and possible personal injury.
