What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Lew, I didn't put any fluid in the bleeder itself. I removed old fluid from the reservoir and added new fluid to the very top. I then attached the bleeder and pumped it to 20 psi. I bled the brakes and kept an eye on the reservoir and pressure. Only once in the whole process did I have to relieve the pressure and add fluid when it got down to the MIN mark. In total I used about 3/4 of a litre of fluid.

Clean up was a breeze since the pump does not actually touch the fluid so only the drain lines need to be cleaned. Like I said the whole process was much easier than I thought it would be.
