Flushing fresh fluid thru there is always a good idea. It gets rid of the old 
fluid which is waterlogged and corrosive by now.

Take your drive carefully and stop at some point to feel all the brake rotors 
and drums. The ones that are hot have hydraulic problems, either sticky 
pistons, or bad hoses, or both.
