freelance New Member Last Online: Mar 12th, 2011 02:51 Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Portland	HELP!: Adding Brake Fluid! I have a 2000 v40. The brake light came on yesterday, and the brake pedal went soft. I'm assuming I can get away with just adding brake fluid for now, (at least to get it to the shop), but I can't get the cap off. I'm afraid that if I twist it too hard, I will break the bottom where the plastic reservoir connects to metal. Any tips???? The manual says to always have the brake fluid added/flushed by a dealer, but this seems like a ripoff.
