    This is what came out of the brake system when I started the purge process eek Brake fluid is supposed to be clear. Helms calls for bleeding to go FL,FR,RR,RL and this is what I collected from the FL. It took about 5 of the small brake fluid containers to complete the task but my car is much happier now. It was pretty easy todo as it is just like bleeding the brakes except just keep on pumping till the fluid is clear and make sure that the resovoir is always as full as possible. I did the purge by myself but of course needed a second hand to bleed them correctly after I was done wink It took about 1 hour by myself, a dew bottle and about a 4 ft peice of vac line to attach to the speed bleeder (did all of our tegs come with these because my Helms shows them in the diagrams?) to run to the bottle. I figured you guys would like to see this because you would never know unless you did what I did. With only 40k on it, I can't believe how bad it was, and I don't Auto-X or anything like that. Now everybody has something todo this weekend, have fun biggrin
