Since it was 'that time-o-year' for me to do my Annual Brake Bleeding Procedure? I thought I would post the DIY.

Yes, Yes.... I understand Porsche says 'Every *TWO* years'?? I do Annual Brake Fluid flushes, given my Super-High Humidity/Heat environment. Overkill? Perhaps, but Cheap Insurance for me. Plus? It yields a nice Bonding experience with my cars.

There may be better/cheaper fluids out there? But? Since she is still under Warranty, I am using OEM brake fluid.

I'm sure there are plenty of Brake Pressure Bleeding tools out there, but I love my Old Klunker ATE unit, which prevents ANY air from getting into the Circuit, plus, it allows a constant 2 Bars of pressure, while remaining portable.

You will need AT LEAST 2 Liters of Brake fluid in order to accomplish the 'Preliminary' Flushing of the Main Brake Lines, *BEFORE* Flushing the ABS Circuit. The Logic being: " You don't want to get any of the OLD fluid which is in the Reservoir/Master Cylinder/Lines to get directed into the ABS Circuit. Only Open the ABS pathways after there is CLEAN fluid in the system."

And how do you open the ABS pathways?

Using the Hand Held Testing unit, as described.
