i have a 5th gen and i just relaced the brake hoses with stainless steel ones. now i want to change my black 8O brake fluid with new fluid. whats the best way to do this? keep bleeding each corner untill i see clear fluid come out? or is there a better way?
how exactly do you gravity bleed the system? is that the best way?

I've used a suction type bleeder made by Vacula for several years and it works great. I bleed the RR then the LR, RF and finally the LF. I repeat at least one time. I change the brake fluid on all my vehicles at least once ever 2 years. I always use DOT3 or 4 fluid.
