Changing Brake Fluid

I got the Blue ready to go. Now I need to know the correct procedure for changing the brake fluid on the EVO.

Does anyone have the service manual handy that can tell me what the steps are on the evo?

Corner Order ect…

I don't know what style ABS actuators the Evo uses but pretty much the easiest thing to do is just open all four bleeders an keep the fluid topped off until it all is flushed out.
What do you mean by Blue?

The Brake and clutch share the same resevoir, do you plan on replacing all the fluid in the clutch hydraulics too?

The Fluids have already been changed. I had the dealer do it yesterday. The only problem is that now the brakes feel spongy. The Dealer swears, today, that there is no air in the system, but something just isn’t right. I took the car over to RMR to see if they could help me bleed the brakes again but the mechanics were at a race and there was no one there that could help me work on the brakes. One of the guys there did go out and check the peddle pressure. He said it was not right and tried to help by calling the dealer. Nothing was resolved.

I now have the service manual, so I called a fiend that knows what to do with brake fluid to come over and help me bleed the system again. If he can get here tonight I will bleed the brakes again. If he can’t I guess I am not going to Buttonwillow tomorrow after all.
