Some prefer to clean up a mess by not making it in the first place. Some prefer to do the job by-the-book.

I'm no braking system expert - I'll freely admit that my knowledge of ABS/TC/&c is superficial at best and my understanding is even less. And the last brakes I bled were on a '98 Pontiac. But... I have worked with hydraulic systems, both mechanically and control-wise, from the size of a few D cells to 6' radial motors and I've been servicing brakes since the mid-'70s (I may not be doing it right but I always manage to stop). Hydraulics is hydraulics.

If you have been paying attention over the years I get pissy about safety items on cars and people don't have 110% understanding on what they are doing and if you guys have to use a book all the time to work on your cars well then I would leave the safety items to an expert ,you don't hear me say much about regular stuff like taking your door panel or radio out.
