Replacing brake pads and brake fluid

Bones85 · April 28th, 2013, 01:49 PM

I'm going to replace the brake pads and brake fluid. Which one would you recommend doing first or does it not matter?

Thanks.

Why not do both at the same time?

Doesn't matter.

I'm going to be doing both the same today. I was wondering whether it's a good idea to replace the fluid first then the pads or vice versa or if it doesn't matter.

Do the pads first. You'll push the pistons further out that you will need to in the end of you leave the old pads in. You'd end up just pushing the pistons back in to fit the new (thicker) pads on.
