Good to know, but yeah I'll probably replace the sensors through FCP Euro. Still need to check them out, actually, but I digress.

I don't think there's any harm in you just taking some out using regular ones, as long as you're not letting it sit in the reservoir for extended period of time.

However, if you're at a point where there's too much fluid, you might as well just bleed out some old fluid.
