G'day,
I thought Larry's advice on Geo Trackers warranted a separate message, I'm sure he won't mind me sending it in as a new message.

Rob, One of the good things about the ATE Super Blue fluid is that it comes in two colors ... Blue and Amber. Makes flushing a
little easier. Just open the bleader and wait for the Blue to stop flowing and the Amber to start. I change my fluid every 3 ys.
For those of you that own a Geo Tracker, it is particularly important. The Tracker has a weight sensing device on the rear axle
that senses load and applies appropriate pressure to the rear brakes. That device is not serviceable...replace only. It is only
available through dealers and the last time I checked (4 yrs ago) it listed at just over $400. By simply changing fluid every
couple of years, you can avoid having to replace it when the water in the fluid rusts it internally...Just say'n...
