On the Resivior cap does it say use only dot 5 fluid or does it say dot3 or 4 fluid. If it say dot 5 don't put your normal dot 3/4 fliud it'll cost heaps to fix it.

Dot 3 fluid only.

Fronts as per normal.

Rears ignition must be on and no need to pump pedal, simply depress pedal and crack nipple and a constant stream will evolve.
