MB Article on Brake Flushing

Good article on brake flushing. Also mentions a nice trick that a DIYer can use to remove old fluid from the ASP/ESP system.

Also mentions how badly and more importantly *why* you can screw up your ESP system if you don't flush the system every two years.

Rich....

Wow

Lots of good articles there. I just spent the last three hours reading every service related article on that web site going back to when they started putting them on-line.

Thanks again for that URL

Unfortunately MB has changed the link, and if you go to the root url - mbwholesaleparts.com - you are asked for a 6 digit MB Employee number. Hmm have to think back to how many combinations I would need to try!
Has anyone got any working links to the site?
