Brake Fluid Testing strips

[Vittorio Bares]

Ok - while we're on the subject - how much should one expect to spend on
one and are there preferred products?

I've used a Motive pressure bleeder for years - change the brake fluid
twice per season on the 928 track car,  changed MANY others also.  Can't
count how many times I've done it,  maybe a hundred times. Did the a6qa
when I first got it,  too.  Never had a problem,  I keep the pressure to
about 10 pounds.  I can change the fluid in the 928 in about 1/2 hour,
from the time I start to torquing the wheels and putting it back on the
ground,  including the clutch fluid.  

hth,

Bill
