'sup all,

I've got a 1993 Honda Accord and I'm going to change my master
cylinder, as well as replace the brake fluid that's in there. I was
thinking about letting gravity drain the fluid from the reservoir and
replace the fluid as it drains. Is that a good idea? I wonder if I
don't get it all out, how would the two different (assuming just
different in age) behave together? Old vs. New. I guess I should get
a little bit more fluid to drain it good.

Then I was going to replace the Master Cylinder. I need to take the
brake hoses off, but do I drain the reservoir first? Maybe until
almost empty. my main quandry is How does air not get into the brake
lines when I unscrew them from the old master cylinder?

How much brake fluid does anyone recommend I should get to drain
the system fully and put the new MC on? I was thinking one of those
big bottles, like 1Ltr. or something would do, though I don't know how
much fluid the system even contains.

Could anyone help me with this? How much brake fluid is in the
system? I don't want to run out, but I don't know what I'd do with
alot of extra fluid either. maybe I'll just flush until I have enough
to fill the MC plus a little bit more for later <grin>
