Brake fluid flush - DIY or have a mechanic do it?
I want to do it myself but would have to do it the manual pumping way, im worried i may screw up the brake booster. I'm usually pretty good with cars and do all the maintenace my self but wondering if i should have my mechanic do this, what do you all think ? Is it an easy job if i just make sure no air gets in the system and i dont push the pedal too far or should i have it done?

Considering the time for two people to do all 4 corners, if you're doing the pedal push way, will be over 2 hours added to the possibility of rusted bleeder screws and the mess, I would suggest you take it in. I'm pretty handy and have always done the maintenance, but for a brake flush which is usually $100-$120 I think I'd rather outsource it. If you already had a brake bleeder or could borrow a buddy's, I would DYI but pedal pumping, nahh.
