Brake fluid purge?

Clutch LAST. Since the opening for the clutch line is above the openings for the brakes, you could lower the fluid level below the clutch as you bleed the brakes, which could introduce air into the clutch system. I guess this only applies if you bleed by using the power bleeder dry, in other words, filling the reservoir as the fluid gets expelled.

Last I heard, the "Super Blue fluid" is no longer available, due to some silly federal regulation or whatever...

Does anyone know---is that the case? Is it still available from some source or other? I sure did like the ease of going back and forth between the gold and the blue..

No longer available on Pelican or any other US site I have seen.

It was temporarily withdrawn from the market in August, but is now available again from just about everybody including Amazon.com relabeled as "Racing Brake Fluid" or "For Off Road Use", which is how it is labeled in other countries. Long term, Continental may decide to drop it simply because of the extra costs for special restrictive labeling and MSDS, but you can still find it currently.
