Does anyone have a DIY procedure for flushing the brake system on the XJR?

 

No tricks....just like bleeding/flushing on any other car. I use the one-man method

1) Suction out most of the old fluid from the master cylinder, top off with clean fluid

2) Fill a pint or quart sized clean jar/can/bottle 1/2 way with new fluid. Attach one end of a rubber hose to bleeder and submerge other end in the jar of fluid. Open bleeder. Pump pedal 20 times. Close bleeder, move on to next wheel

That's about it. Make sure the master cylinder doesn't run dry as you pump.

actually, according to the JDHT shop manual, there is a specific procedure,
referring to one of my other posts, I'll make one when I sober up in the morning.

 

Still looking for that DIY.

Usually you start at the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder, via the brake lines.

I'd expect it would be the passenger side rear wheel, followed by the driver side rear wheel, then the passenger side front, and finally the driver side front.

Can anyone confirm, and that there's nothing else to worry about?

 

Confirmed
