Imo defo need to change it....
along with some decent 5.1 brake fluid and the pedal will feel epic!
...and no...need to bleed it all...but use it as a chance to put some decent fluid in it

It doesn't make the brakes any better but it does make them feel a lot better. Well worth it considering how cheap and easy to change they are.

Stupidly simple to swap. I think you just undo two brake lines, then undo two nuts and its off. Then opposite to fit new one. Think theres an O-ring remember to check thats there or re-use old one.
