Posts: 1,660 Thanks: 59 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Brake fluid reservoir Hi, When bleeding the brakes under pressure last week the reservoir exploded, it was very brittle to start with and I only gave it 10psi, any ideas for a replacement? Any modern Fiats have something similar? Tony

I know the old fashioned method is a bind but it works and doesn't cause problems with the reservoir or master cylinder.

The luck here is that it is a remote reservoir - most cars have the reservoir integral with the master cylinder.
