Went to our cheap tire store  and had a brake check.Do we need
pads?fluid?NOOOO
You might as well junk that 93 astro van because of contaminated brake
fluid,you need
$1700 to replace all rubber parts in brake system.We are not rich and
cannot put $1700
in a 93 van thats really a nice ride otherwise.
Could it be that no service company would dare make a partial fix to a
problem like this
because the yellow pages are overflowing with lawyers just waiting to
point out if the1700
fix had been done these poor people wouldnt have run over our clients
cat!
Just FYI ,lawyers control all that is easily fixed as opposed to all
that must be fixed without fear of legal liability.SOOOOOO
considering I myself put in only dot3 (albeit old dot3) fluid....
1.Can the brake system be flushed first ,then replace as
needed...MC,rubber hose..wheel cylinders in a logical order of
importance.
Has anyone ever asked the junkyard guy "Hey that car looks nice,is the
engine blown?"
"no runs good"..."frame bad ,front end shot"   "Nope"   "Well whys that
great lookin car sitting there junked?"
"bad brake fluid"
