Brake Fluid Flush

cuddapah · 08-12-2017, 12:14 PM

2011 BMW Z4 35i ... its time for brake fluid flush. I see in several DIY that it is very simple. I don't have any jacking tools. I don't want to spend too much on the tools. Any suggestions which will work for Z4 ?

Are these and jack pads enough

The first link only showed me jack stands. You'll definitely want at least a pair of those if not 4 but you can get them cheaper at Harbor Freight and those will do just as good of a job. The jack in the second link looks good but you can get better. If you have a Costco membership get this one. I've been using the jack I bought from Costco for the last 15 years and it's still working perfectly. If you don't have a member ship consider this one from Amazon. Auto parts store tools will almost always be way more expensive for the same or even lesser quality items. A wheel chock or two is also a good idea.
