Hey JARBlue...what would you think if this cheapo process was done, say every couple of months (I mean it's pretty darn easy) instead of AK's 6 month rotation? By having more frequency do you think I'd EVER have to totally bleed the brake lines???

Also, my ride is a 2010 with 19K miles...do you think I'm due for this??

Thx in advance.
