brake/clutch hydraulic system
fixed. With a leak, the brakes will
not work well.
Always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap and the area around
the cap before removing it.

worn, there will be too much fluid
when new brake linings are
installed. Add or remove fluid, as
necessary, only when work is done
on the brake/clutch hydraulic
system.

can spill on the engine and burn,
if the engine is hot enough. You
or others could be burned, and
the vehicle could be damaged.

done on the brake/clutch
hydraulic system. When the brake/clutch fluid falls to a
