Did a Complete Flush on Fluid but it turns Black

[GabrielGoes]

So this is my second time completley changing the brake fluid for both lines (dual disc up front) i have steel lines... the rubber on the master is in good shape overall the master seems to be in good shape but for some reason the fluid turns black very quickly (like within a few days i believe) any ideas?

Did you do a full brake system tear down and clean out? From your description it sounds like there is grunge in the system.

I agree. Stuff will settle down into the crevices and will need a disassembly and thorough cleaning to remove completely.

just head to do the same to the rear of my, about 1/3 of the caliper was filled with grime.

what do u mean i should dissassemble the actual caliper(s)? where does grime build up?

[Adler]

Behind the pistons in the calipers, for one...

thats the easiest way to get it out... you might be able to take the caliper off and spray brake cleaner inside the caliper and flush it out, but i would not recommend it as it may damage the seals. get a caliper rebuild kit while at it.

I would not think that brake cleaner would damage the seals on the brakes but regardless, if you haven't torn down those calipers... you need to.

that's still cleaner then my
I dont know if the brake cleaner would cause the seals to swell up or not

Did you just change the fluid or did you actually tear everything in the MC and in the calipers down and rebuild both? You won't see any improvement unless you fully rebuild and clean out all parts to your brake system including the lines.

Brake cleaner should NOT be used to spray inside a caliper or master cylinder. Take these components apart and clean them properly.

there u go... where is a good place to get rebuild kits?

[cowboyup3371]

Any of the local or online parts houses will still carry them. It might take a week or so but it's not that bad.
