Flushing Brake Fluid in 1996 PA

[Garfield2]

I have a 1996 Park Avenue with about 150,000 miles on it. I just changed the oil, spark plugs, transmission filter and fluid and air cleaner. I bought it used a few days ago, and I have heard that with that many miles it is good idea to flush the brake fluid to avoid ABS problems. ONCE in a while the ABS light does come on, but it is random. I had a 1993 PA Ultra that froze up the left front wheel caliper one evening in the winter and that was a bugger getting fixed. Ended up installing a different Anti-Lock braking system module in it, along with new rotor, disc, pads and calipers. The caliper got so hot I think it did damage to the seals in it and absolutely would not let fluid back out again once you applied brakes.

So, is it much of a chore at a brake shop? I consider brake work something for a professional to do. Too much at stake with brakes for me to mess with.

Maybe one hours labor and fluid cost, and material cost, and waste disposal cost, and tax. Really, it shouldn't be to bad. The question did remind me of something I read in one of my manuals.

Do brake shops power flush, or push a pedal and flush? Which is the way to go? Has anyone ever heard of this?

I believe there is a sequence you can do to run your ABS motor to power flush, bleeding. Was also told that there are special tools required to do this. Leaft to the pro's of course!
