Best brake fluid and pads?

[C2K]

Get your self a syringe and pipe, so you cant "flush" the m/c res tank first, agitate the black crap on its bottom and remove, add fresh fluid and flush that thru the system rather than the "old fluid", watch for new fluid coming from nipples.

Come again?

What kind of shit is living in your brake system? I've never found any such sort of filth in a master cylinder reservoir. There is clearly a noticeable difference when bleeding between old and new fluid, but considering 1L will enable a thorough flush of the system there is nothing accomplished by the above unless someone's been silly with the MC in the past.

Personally wouldn't bleed brakes by the pedal method anymore. It's not that I couldn't get a good pedal, far from it, but with a compressor and vac bleeder it's effortless.
