Not sure if it’s my imagination, but I recently attempted a brake fluid flush and everything seemed to go just fine. Reservoir never went empty and I didn’t think I let any air in.

But now I suspect brakes aren’t working the same as before. Could be my imagination, but they just don’t feel as immediate/responsive. Fluid isn’t leaking on garage floor either, and reservoir is at the top indicator.

Where could I have gone wrong, and how can I attempt to fix? 21 Tacoma if that’s any help, thanks.

    Definitely know what you’re doing first, but specialized knowledge, tools and devices for brake fluid flush? Come on.

      Sure specialized tools! Vice grips for when the lone wrenches round off the bleeder screws, then bolt extractors for when you snap the hexes off with the vice grips, then electric impact for when you snap the extractors in the bleeders to get the caliper bolts off, then carbide tipped drill bits when you snap off the caliper bolts…

        Yeah YouTube has a knack for that. Don’t worry about the cuts where shit actually needed explaining or got difficult
