Bleeding the brakes is fairly simply really. If you don't have a one person bleeder;

two people needed.

starting with the right rear, then going to the left rear, then right front, then left front.

have the second person pump the brakes 3 times and hold the pedal DOWN hard. You loosen the brake bleed valve. either air or fluid will come out. if it's fluid, repeat the process once more. if it's air, repeat the process until all you get is fluid. do this for each wheel.

 

For differential fluid you will have to just take off the rear cover and drain the fluid. Just put it back on and then there should be a plug in the cover to remove and fill it up from there. Just fill the fluid up to the plug, when it starts coming out, trying putting some more in real quick and then plugging it up. Also don't forget to add posi fluid if needed.

 

Rick,
I applaud your honesty but doesn't that auto parts store that where you work carry Chiltons manuels?
