I just went to sherwin williams ( paint store) and asked about toluene. Thought i was messin with drugs when i asked. haha anyway, he told me somewhere around 8 bux a gallon... like 40 for a 5gallon. Not bad i guess
Im not positive about exactly how often you should change it, but probably every year or 2. The fluid itself will not lose its hydraulic capabilities. you cant say it will lose its compressability, because liquids wont compress. Thats why brakes work. Hydraulics work because in a confined space...
I must admit to most often being a new posts button pusher. I look around though when people are being boring, or its 3am and the new posts change once every half hour or so. Id say most ppl here turn the radio way down to either:

I actually encountered a worthy 4dr accord. Looks ultra stock except fmic. Running a semi built motor with 14 psi open dp open wastegate with a chipped ecu running custom maps. Took me on a few highway pulls. I was really dissapointed till i approached him the next day to see what the hell he...
you basically take the master cylinder, put plastic plugs where the brake lines would go, and attach tubes to those plugs. You then put those hoses from the plugs to the inside of the resivoir and fill the resivoir with brake fluid. you take a screwdriver and pump the master cylinder until...
