I'm fitting some new rear R33/34 calipers today (already had the front ones on) and want to know the best way to drain the old fluid and refill with Castrol SRF.

I've only got a litre of SRF so what's the best way to get the old fluid out?

If I drain the front calipers somehow can I just blow the system through with air to get most of the old fluid out?

I've got a pressurised EasyBleed type system I was thinking I could use to do this as it connects to a spare tyre?

I'd normally just keep bleeding the system until the existing fluid is all flushed out but this stuff is expensive and I don't want to waste loads of it.

Any better ideas?

Didn't get that far!

 

Got one caliper fitted as it took me a while to clean all the rust off the disks and handbrake system that has appeared with it being stood for a year.

 

Haven't worked out exactly how to connect the hard pipes to the calipers as neither the existing Z or new Skyline brackets won't fit in the right place.

Might have to bodge something up from both of them.

 

Would have had it finished if it hadn't pissed it down as usual whenever i go near this car!

Was gorgeous sun when i started.

chris when you get round to bleeding them... this guide should see you through...
