I just changed the front and rear brake fluid on the RX3 with new DOT 4. Easy job with my vacuum bleeder, but the rear cover bolts were hard to get to. I used a bit holder with a 1/4" u-joint to get in there. But it was still hard not to strip them.
Warning: the rear reservoir empties much quicker than the front. So keep it filled and don't let air in the lines like I did. I essentially had to bleed them twice, but the rear line is so short it was fast.
I still need to test them and we'll see if the brakes improve.
