Hey all this is my first post and I am a noob so don’t be to mean :lol:. I had my 05 Grand Cherokee limited with the hemi in the dealership today and they said I needed to change the brake fluid but instead of paying $140 I figured Id try it myself first. I’ve never done this before and I’ve tried to do some research so I just want to make sure these are the right steps.
First thing is to drain the master cylinder of the old fluid and fill it with new fluid. Then remove all the tires and starting with the tire farthest away from the master cylinder, attach a plastic tube to the bleeder and this part im confusedà do I have my helper pump the brakes and hold the brake down and then open the bleeder or do I open the bleeder and then they pump the brakes? After all the fluid is clear and the air is out I close the bleeder and move on to the next one.
Is this all correct? Like I said I am new and never have done this before so any helpful advice would be great. I tried finding a how to on the forum but I didn’t have any luck so if anyone could point me to one that would be great.
Thanks for the help
