Leafs are changing in and around old Quebec. But this place is busy as heck

Flush is probably better. Brake fluid accumulated a bit of water over time, I flush mine every 3rd season. Flushing is easier than bleeding as there should be no air in a working system -- you're just displacing old fluid by pushing new fluid from the reservoir thru the lines and out the caliper.

Tips:

• Always use a new sealed container of fluid. An open container will gradually absorb humidity snd be as 'wet' as the stuff you are flushing out.
• A cheapie speed bleeder or brake bleeder bottle makes this easy for one person.
• Do back, front, and clutch if it's hydraulic.

I always like to use an old turkey baster to remove most of the old fluid from the resivoir. It just speeds up the process.

Yes, there's no point in wasting time flushing old fluid through the system, get as much of it out as is possible before you start.
