That's my thought exactly, what's the big deal about spending $2or$3 on
brake fluid and taking 10 minutes to bleed the brakes, it definitely won't
hurt anything and it may very well prevent early failure of your brake
system, to me it's worth the extra effort....BTW, I'm in the same boat as
you as far as women are concerned, but then again does any man really
understand women....
