Brake fluid change is a must for a new owner. The fluid is hygroscopic...that's a big word for absorbs moisture LOL.
I needed to make up a way to get the fluid into the reservoir. Ended up with a birthing kit's rubber bulb syringe and a piece of O2 tubing super glued to it. If your master cylinder is located where mine is, you'll understand. In any case, suck out most of the old from MC and replace with new,next move to 1st wheel and bleed fluid from caliper, replace fluid in MC and move to next wheel. Do not let the MC go dry!!!! Bleed and fill, bleed and fill...2 person job.
BTW is your chassis a Ford (F53) or a Chevy?
