Can I change my brake fluid by using a turkey baster, empty master cylinder and refill then do the same a month later?

Hello everyone; Need help please:( Tbz 2003 ext 2wd My home village is on top of the mountain, I visit every weekend, when leaving I have like 70km of descending, every single time I face the same problem: The brakes become hot and the pedal becomes loose and I have to stop to let them cool for...

02 Trailblazer LT EXT After replacing the front right Rotor & Hub Assembly, along with pads on both sides my pedal had no pressure so I decided to bleed the system and change the rear pads while I was at it. While bleeding I ran into a stripped bleeder valve on my final wheel so I resorted to...

2002 chevy trail blazer, The left and right tail lights do not work when I press on the pedal. The third brake light works properly, and the left and right brake lights illuminate when the hazards are on. The running lights work and so does the reverse lights. I’ve looked through the forums and...

I think I posted the first in the wrong place and I wasn't sure how to delete it. The brake booster failed in my 08 chevy trailblazer 6cyl 4wd. I was going to get an oem one from the dealership but they said it was discontinued so I had to get a crap remanufactured one from o'reilly's. It works...

'05 Isuzu Ascender: I was stopped on a steep hill waiting on traffic, facing uphill. I had eased off the brakes and rolled backwards a little bit. When I pressed on the brakes to stop again, there was a dull popping sound from under the hood in front of me, a noticable pulse in the brake pedal...

Hello all! Last winter up in Michigan right after we had the polar vortex hit us dropping the temperatures down to -40 I started to have problem with me abs sensors. At the time I blew it off because it was winter and theirs ice and snow everywhere so I thought the abs was just working the way...

Searched a bunch but didn't see this specific issue in the forum. I'm having an intermittent issue where my brake pedal sinks about an inch or so when I've just about come to a complete stop, right when the transmission kicks down to first gear, my pedal sort of "creaks" down a couple inches and...

So I have been noticing some rough brake performance at times, and an on again off again P0171 MIL on my 06 TB. It runs perfectly fine sometimes, but others it does. There's a small high pitched noise under the hood, not sure from where though. The brake booster isn't making any noise though as...

I've been doing some research, and I believe I have the problem figured out but I would like some input to verify the conclusions I've come to. I've been hearing a vacuum leak for the past few weeks, I believe the brake booster is the problem, specifically not holding vacuum. I can hear a...

okay -- follow me, current problem each front brake caliper 'grabs' through the day, not both at the same time , left / right take turns, it is 'fine' when cold starts grabbing through the day, the pedal is normal then feels too high when pads are 'dragging' - i have replaced one caliper...

Hello all I am having an issue with my TB It is an 07 LT with the I6 and 4WD, it has about 150k on it. The ABS or TCS on the car is overly sensitive and prevents the car from stopping on many occasions. Its very dangerous as the TB will roll really far with the ABS going crazy when any other...

Hello all: In the process of trying to replace my ECBM. The Kelsey Hayes (KH) is what my TB has installed. This unit is not re-build able. I have been shopping online and parts warehouses keep sending me the KH 325 unit when I order. Does anyone have a good source for replacements of the...

Bought about a month ago and the brake pedal was very spongey - I would depress it 75% until the brakes started to work. Pads and Rotors were at 40% life, so we turned rotors and bought new pads for the front because they were getting low. We changed the brake fluid (old was dark green/black)...

So here is the deal, I brought my 03 trailblazer LS to a mechanic to have some work done. I had him replace the brake pads in the front and when I got it back the brakes were hanging up. I called him and told him my issues and he basicly told me to F off. The first thing I did to try and fix the...

Hey guys, This is my latest video on How To Flush and Bleed Your Brakes. I used my pickup truck in this video but it applies to any car or truck. Brake fluid absorbs water so after about 3 years you should flush them. While I know of no one who flushes their fluid that often I figured after 14...
