Every time I lift the clamshell on my 91 I think, "I really need to flush the brake fluid". The brake fluid reservoirs were filled with black crud.
Well, today I finally did it. I installed new brake hose kits all around from Corvette Central and flushed the system.
Look how pretty!



Now I need to clean the road crud from the aluminum suspension parts.

Nice job.

I find that 3M pads with brake parts cleaner works wonders on the Al parts.

So now that you're done with that, it's time to clean the coolant overflow reservoir, as long as you're still in the mood...........

We may have exhausted Ron's humor.
