I am a true DIY enthusiast and love maintaining my vehicles. One thing most people overlook is a brake fluid flush every year or two. On a new car, the brake fluid looks clear as water, but after a few years it resembles iced tea, which means it has attracted moisture, which is normal for Dot 3 brake fluid. When you release it, the wheel cylinder and calipers are the Subject to corrosion, and after such a long time they start to leak, which is not good. I bought this Actron vacuum pump/brake bleeder kit to flush the brake lines when the brake fluid starts to go dark. If you have someone who can help you, they can keep the master cylinder closed while you apply vacuum to each air outlet. If you don't have anyone to help you, you can go to a hardware store and buy a piece of plastic tubing that is the same diameter as the tubing that comes with it and long enough to reach from the farthest air vent to the master cylinder under the hood. This allows you to check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder so you don't accidentally empty it. The extended life of wheel cylinders and calipers will more than offset the cost of this tool.
