Re: Adding Brake Fluid

Lift carpet or matt. Remove round cover in cab floor. Remove cap from MC. use long neck funnel or squeeze bottle with hose to put in fluid. Replace cap. Pump brakes, remove cap and check again. Do not pump brakes with the cap off unless you like cleaning up fluid all over your under carriage and repainting when it eats off the paint!
