easy brake flush question

posted by  someone claiming to be KC on  Wed Dec 4 11:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]


Do I need to put my 2000 S70 on ramps in order to flush the brake fluid, or is it physically possible to reach in there for access to the bleed valve? Too cold & snowy for me to go out an check right now.

Thanks!

    I did my 98 on the ground using a pressure bleeder. It
    was not hard at all. One thing the DIY instructions (found
    on the net) warn is not to over-tighten the bleed nipples
    when you are done (because they can sheer off).

    Here is the pressure bleeder I use:http://www.motiveproducts.com/

    I did my 98 V70 and it is tough with the wheels on. I had to lie on the garage floor and juggle the hose and bottle. Are you doing a presure bleed?
