02 CL500 - Flush then Valve Job ( Front and rear) or Valve Job then Flush?
Hello all,
I am about to rebuild the the front and rear valve blocks. My question is do I do the flush first then valve job?
My valves do need get reconditioned, but I feel if I do it first, then flush the system, I'll just be pumping the old (dirty)
fluid through them.
But if I flush first, the do the valves, how would I get all the old (dirty) fluid out if my valves don't work?
There is no "sucking out" process in the flushing is there? Isn't all one direction when you flush?
So how does flushing clean/suck out/replace the old (dirty) fluid in the lines to all 4 shocks
if they don't get pushed out or sucked out?
Thanks in ADVANCE to everyone!
