[QUOTE="LoudCrownVic, post: 1474685, member: 551225"] It's relatively easy... But takes two people ideally. There are small nuts on the brake calipers (the things holding the brake pads) that you open while the pedal is depressed to let the air out. It varies with all vehicles where these are located, sometimes it's on the brake line I tink. To do tis you need to jack up the vehicle, take off the wheel. One person puts down the brake. Another person opens up one of the nuts. Leave this nut open until there is no moore air or until fluid comes out, orthe pedal goes to the floor. Close the nut, release the pedal, and then repeat the steps. Do this all tyhe way around the car at least for good measure. It's also a good time to check your brake pads for wear. Brake fluid is toxic. It's a good idea to try to catch the fluid in a large drip pan. If any gets on the pain of the vehicle, be sure to remove it asquick as posible. You will lose some fluid in the process. BE SURE TO BUY EXTRA! Also, don't leave the cap off of your master cylinder during this process... it will blow everywhere. [/QUOTE]
