Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Do I need to bed-in the brakes on my daily driver?

So I bedded them in and everything seems good so far. However, I do have another question. The brake pedal just isnt as solid as I want it or as I think it used to be when we bought the car. The car has 104k miles now and I have never changed the brake fluid. So I called the dealer to ask in what order I bleed the brakes to change the fluid. The guy acted like I was some kind of doofus and replied that they have never changed the fluid on a VUE and that I don't have to. I said, ok well I still want to, what order do I bleed them? He said, "I don't know, we've never done it."

He was of no help so I ask you guys, wouldn't it help if I change the fluid?
