Look everyone that was obviously a joke.

No it wasn't.


And you allegedly drive an M3?

So you thought handbrake was on the front like an old Citroen?
If you drove a car with no rear brakes you'd realise they need 4 for balance.
It will be a drum, like in the old days, because it's so light.

Justin do you live in London? Would you kindly show me how the brake fluid change is performed on the Yaris?

I wouldn't live in London!
Will be an online guide, but basically crack a bleed nipple and get someone to push brake pedal down, do nipple up, let pedal up.
Repeat several times each corner - keeping an eye on fluid level.
If you buy the blue fluid from gsf or ecp you can easily see when all old stuff is out.
Or buy a bleeder, like eazibleed - which I'm not overly keen on, there are better but are more expensive.

Don't forget to put a hose on the bleed nipple feeding into a tin/jar/recepticle. :rotfl:

Start at the rear left, then rear right, front left, then front right (longest to shortest lines).

I have an Ezibleed and it doesn't do a bad ol' job when I have no willing victims to pump the pedal.

Oh and give the bleed nipples a good scrub with a wire brush and hose down with penetetrating oil before attempting to crack them as they're made of butter and rather easy to shear off.

Under fixed price servicing on the toyota website, there's an additional drop down menu for additional maintenance options

Say what you like about this fantasist but he has the power to get 2 pages of (mostly useful) replies within a couple of an hours to a simple question. Maybe it's a handy forum technique we'll all have to learn!

Only thing for me is it's using air, and you don't want air in your lines. Little simplistic view I know.
Handy for doing clutch, often can't use pedal unless remove cylinder and turn it upright.
Wouldn't mind a kit that sucks the fluid out.
Using pedal can give it a bit of a beating too.

Rather than using the eazibleed kit, can't you just use an oil extracor like the plea 6000/650?

Yes, you can with the right diameter tube. I used my Pela on Saturday to do just that having replaced the two rear flexis on my dad's motorhome.
