Default power steering fluid in brake lines

Well I posted a question earlier about my brakes not working in cold weather. I come to find out that my wife was driving the truck when a brake line whent so she put power steering fluid in the brake resevuoir to get home. i fixed the line bleed the brakes and the problem started. she finally told me last night she said she was to scared to tell me because she thought i would flip out. So My question is what would be the best route to take to get all the fluid out and new in.

Open up the bleeder nut and let it run. leave the resavour cap off. dont let it run all the way dry,, keep it full while it is draining. It works on the older ones, so maybe this will help.

Buy a pressure bleeder and a gallon of brake flush. The brakes lines are contaminated. PS fluid DOES NOT have the same properties as brake fluid.


Good luck with your ride.
