Buy a can of new fluid.There is a brake bleeder valve (looks like a small grease fitting) on each wheel.Get the proper size wrench to fit the fitting.Have a friend sit in truck with engine off and wheels chocked.Get under truck and loosen bleed valve while friend applies pressure to brake pedal.When pedal goes all the way to floor,tighten bleed valve,have friend pump brakes up and repeat process.Do this on all wheels ,replace brake fluid, and test brakes.If they feel spongy or pedal travel is too much repeat process.Oh and be green-have a container to catch old brake fluid and dispose of properly.Also get some small vacuum hose covers and cap the nipple on the bleed valve when u finish-keeps dirt out.I believe this covers it,BJ

dont look to hard for the bleeder on the right hand rear, b/c its not there!

U r right,they dont have a pass.side rear bleed because of the antilock proportioning valve being over there.They also only have tthree brake lines when u replace them.BJ

I don't think that the B2000 had antilock breaks

At some point antilocks were standard on all Mazda Bseries but I dont know when the changeover came.BJ

I think that 93 was the first year for the antilock.
