2/3 yrs the recommended for brake fluid but most folk don't bother,but if you can do it or afford someone to do it ,it is worth doing every two years. Advice given by whitmice is sound, after the game i've just had changing kingpins they will be greased every two months, oils changed every 3000 mls/6months

Brake fluid is a lot cheaper than a brake rebuild. :wink:
Have you changed your brake hoses at all please?

Before removing existing hoses clean up fitings, undo bothends of hose and sling, fit new hoses ensuring they are fitted correctly and not twisted. If bleeding alone use a gunson eezibleed kit.

Thanks n8rbos, good tip.

Tell me please, have you had any problems where the Bundy pipe shears off due to rust when you undo the tube nut to the brake hose please?
