    I have a 2012 Tacoma 4x4 access cab auto trans.I am going to flush my brake fluid system because the original brake fluid is still in the system from the factory.I want to do this myself.How do you guys do it someone in the cab pumping the brake pedal and holding it and release the brake bleeder?Or do you use some device to to it by your self.Will I have any problems doing it or does a dealer need to do it.Thanks to all that reply.

    It's easy. I always get someone to press the brakes, but you can do it by yourself with a brake bleeder kit.

    Make it easy.

    Pull out the current master fluid with a baster and refill. You are about 1/2 done.

    Install new fluid of a different color, like ATE super blue, and you'll know when its through the system.

    Just be sure to start on the rear furthest from the splitter block.
