Brake fluid dissolves paint. Have clean towels and plenty of

Remove the front RH pinwheel cap, if installed. See
Cap - Wheel (Remove and Replace).
Remove the cover from the outer brake bleed valve of

protect from brake fluid.
Loosen the brake bleed valve only enough to allow a
drop of brake fluid to seep out, and then close the
valve.
Remove a brake test strip from the container, and
then close the container.
Touch the square pad of the test strip to the fluid,
remove the test strip from the wheel, gently shake the
test strip over a shop towel to remove excess brake
fluid, and start a 90 second timer.
After 90 seconds, compare the color of the test
strip square pad to the color chart on the side of the
container.
If the test strip square pad is darker than the
30 PPM color sample, a brake fluid bleed/flush is
recommended.
If the test strip square pad is the same color,
or lighter than the 30 PPM color sample, it is
recommended to repeat this brake fluid check in 2
years.
Record the test strip result and recommendation into
the Public Notes field of the Job Line.
