Nate, I think flushing the brake fluid is a lot more important than what most people think. I am sure people like Kurt will have a much better answer, but basically the brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, and loses its properties. By flushing it you also remove most of the deposits and solid particles the build up over time. I like to do it once a year. There are ways to do it without the hand pump, but is _a lot_ easier with it. Clutch uses the same stuff, so you should do the same maintenance as well.
