[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 974843, member: 21394"] That was some very amber colored fluid for a 2009 that had supposedly had the fluid changed previously by the dealer. Your methods are sound using a vacuum pump. Mine are similar, but I extract the excess fluid in the master cylinder using a large veterinary syringe, and refill the reservoir with clean fluid before starting the bleed. I don't hesitate to use a conventional bleeding method of pulling the brake or clutch lever while opening the bleeder under vacuum. It just seems to make things go faster. Something I have not done, and wonder if it is worthwhile, is to [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=136000&pid=834610&st=0&&do=findComment&comment=834610"]cycle the ABS system[/URL] to move fluid. I suspect it's not necessary. Your ending advise is right-on :clapping: [/QUOTE]
