Brake line flush question

[joeb]

Hi all.

Just looked at Bigfish's post about changing brake lines and working on pistons. It was stated that brake fluid flush had to be done at servo. Question, if the fluid that was bleed out at the wheel was topped off at the upper reservoir,and topped off till clear fluid came out at wheel bleed nipple, wouldn't that eventually flush all the way thru the system, including the servo ?

I believe it is a completely separate circuit but now you're making me wonder if it is all connected.

Sorry, They are different circuits and won't work.

The 1150's are different to the 1100's and are effectively 4 different circuits. 2 for the front, and 2 for the rear.

Joeb, read the ABS3 tutorial, lots of great info....

Question. Does the ABS3 tutorial also apply to a 03rt

system ? Thanks.

Yes. ABS3 is also referred to as integrated ABS. Your 1150RT has the iABS system. Think of it as FOUR separate brake fluid circuits. Controls to ABS, front and rear. ABS to wheel caliper, front and rear. Each circuit gets flushed.

Thanks.

I don't know that I've seen that tutorial. Could someone post a link to it?

 

Thanks...

Thanks, Andy. I had seen that. I pretty much followed it when I flushed mine a while back. It's due again...
