    I did a search looking for a 'How to' or tips on flushing the brake fluid system. I have done my M5 and Porsche so I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I have a local track day coming up and as far as I can tell from my service records, it may not have been done anytime recently. I would rather do it my self and only have the Dealer do the track safety inspection.

    I know that the master cylinder/reservor is behind the front trunk panel/vapor shield.

    Any help here?? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I haven't done mine yet but I already looked into it. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. When I do mine I will probably add speed bleeders I have them on the rest of my cars and it makes future bleeding easier.

    IIRC do you not require the SD2 scanner to do this ?

    You can bleed 360 brakes without the sd2. It's no great mystery- same as all your other cars-start at the wheel furthest from the Master cylinder. Don't forget to bleed the clutch too, if your car has a manual shifter. I tend to try and suck what's in the bottle out first with a syringe, as it quickens the process....

    I have flushed out the clutch on my 360, but haven't done the brakes. I did the brakes on my 355 with no problem though (when I upgraded to larger size brembos and SS lines).
