Excellent! I'm going to take you up on this.
Give me a little time to get all of the new parts ordered, and then we'll set something up. I will, of course, bring the beverage(s) of your choice when I come.

Usually not. But, sometimes after a bleed/flush you end up with a long/softer pedal than you want and either excercising the ABS or having a Tech II excercise the ABS will cure it.

A flush is the same as bleeding except you keep bleeding until all the old fluid is gone. Just do it right and do it once..why vary on something like this?

The flush is just to get new fluid in the lines. Doesn't really matter which caliper gets new fluid first.

A bleed and a flush are not the same unless you screw up and let air get into the system. The furthest to closest rule is to get the air out of the system.

I have an '01, and I flush the brake fluid annually. I've always done it RR, LR, RF, LF......
