Hi, sorry to bring this thread back to life.... I am looking at flushing my radiator out and also changing the brake fluid and steering fluid. In other words, replacing all fluids. Car is at 115k ks, I have never changed the fluids and think it is over due. The car is running fine. I just replaced the injectors (got some second hand 10k ks), spark plugs. I run K&N air filter.

In flushing the radiator, I have an understanding of removing the lower hose from the block, putting the in cab heater to hot and running a hose to flush the engine till the water runs clear and clean....

With the brakes, do I just let the fluid run through the bleeding points at each wheel, then put the new fluid in starting from the furthest wheel away from the reservoir??

Steering, unplug the bottom hose from the reservoir and let it pump out with engine running, then refill turning wheel lock to lock till reservoir is at full line....

Thanks in advance for the advice...
