Boomer, once you have the brakes replaced and the wheel off you might also consider purging the brake fluid with new fluid.

I think the recommended interval is 3 years. There are 2 nipples at each wheel, on the calipers, to bleed and many of us use a pressure bleeding system like Motiv to make it quick and easy to do.

We alternate brake fluid colors at each change to make it easy to see when the new color starts coming out the bleed line so you know when you are done.



Note: The video only shows 1 of the 2 bleeder nipples being bled. You should bleed both nipples.

If you dont want to pay for the bleeder you can DIY and make one with a pesticide sprayer and a rubber stopper to fit your brake reservoir.

You need a small pressure guage as well as you don't want to over pressure the system and blow out any seals in the reservoir.
