Yeah, I figured draining the fluid would be a pain, but when I looked in the
reservoir there is like a film floating on top of the fluid and the fluid
itself really does look like sewer water. Is this that quality (read
expensive) MOPAR fluid that's made by Ma & Pop's Oil Co. in Eastbumf***, NJ?

P.S. Relax all you Jersey guys and gals... I was born and raised in Jersey so
I know where Ma & Pop's is! :-)

Tom,
I know it may be recommended and it is your Dak and all, but I have never
drained/replaced the brake fluid in my Dak. I do however, 2 times a year
suck some of the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and replace it with
fresh fluid. If you plan on replacing the brake fluid, you will HAVE to
bleed both the front and rear brakes. If you just want to swap out some of
the old stuf in the master cylinder, just make sure you dont take too much
out and allow air to get into the brake lines. Let me know if you need
anything else, it is a very easy and straighforward job doing the front
brakes. Rears take some practice, but are also simple. Good Luck Tom!!
