[W126 Coupe] fyi regarding hydraulic fluid

[Richard & Nancy Diefenbach]

Excuse me gents but I tuned in late.  Is this discussion about brake or suspension fluid?  I have a '87 Euro SEC with 76,000 mi.  Should I be concerned about a change of the hydraulic suspension fluid (if their is any)?

  couple of ways to do it, but here's how I did it last I remember...

  1) sucked all old fluid out of reservoir
  2) replaced filter 
  3) filled new fluid in reservoir
  4) unscrewed metal line going into top of reservoir
  5) attached rubber hose to metal line unscrewed in step 4
  6) stuck free end of rubber hose in empty one gallon jug
  7) have someone start car for you, this will get fluid circulating
  8) refill reservoir as its emptying into the jug in step 6

  remember to stop before you run out of the new gallon jug of fluid or you'll have to get more.  Top off to the full line on the dipstick and you are done.
