Removing the brake fluid reservoir screen/filter
strattoj replied to strattoj's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks, that was going to be my secondary option. I just figured it would be a little faster to suck all of the old fluid out of the reservoir with my Mityvac pump as other's have suggested before putting the new fluid in. I don't know how other's got the screen out but I tugged on it pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. I had visions of brake fluid getting flung all over the place if it broke lose with those pliers. I'll use your procedure instead. I just picked up a Motiv pressure bleeder so it should go pretty quick. -
I apologize if this is somewhere in the archives but I did a search and couldn't find any specific information on how to remove the screen/filter from the brake fluid reservoir. I need to flush my brake fluid before a PCA DE this weekend and I'd like to remove the screen on the top of the reservoir so I can remove as much of the old fluid as possible with my Mitivac pump. I read some other posts that you just take some needle nose pliers to remove, but mine doesn't seem to want to come out. Does it only come out a certain way, meaning it needs to be rotated in a certain orientation?. '99 Boxster, if that matters.
