Brakes work great with zero problems. Car has 21,000 miles. I'm the second owner (have owned 4 years). I don't believe that the brake system has ever been flushed. Do I need to do this or, shall I abide by the "if it works don't fix it" theory. Thanks!<P>Steve<BR>Minneapolis

Refurbishers of the Teves reccommend flushing every 2 years. Think the R. Manual says 4 or 5 years. If I keep my car, I will flush every 2 years, just did.<BR> Flushing can be accomplished by 2 people w/o any special equipment. A recent post contains instructions.<P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://www.reatta.net" TARGET=_blank>www.reatta.net</A> has supplemental info re.88, 89 and 90 Reatta Brakes.<BR>Please inform me of any new info, info needing editing or errors.
