And more recently... I've just gone to have the dealer do the brake fluid for my last 2 X5's that needed flushing. Guess I'm getting lazier in my old age.

With the motive power bleeder, I've done it with the wheels on when I first got the x5. Just tuck my head under the back for the rears and turn the steering wheel for access to the fronts. It's that easy.

I bled mine while doing a brake job but felt like there would be enough room to do with the wheels on. Good to know! Next bleed is due in ~6 months so I'll probably go that route.

From what I understand, water gets evenly distributed in the system as brake fluid is hygroscopic. The dryer fluid will take moisture from the wetter fluid.
The dirt however will stay by the caliper due to rubber, but then it's the water that kills brakes. A yearly turkey baster drain and fill of the reservoir is good. But with the motive power bleeder, it's so easy why bother with that method? |
