Front brake lines to calipers are both leaking. Just ordered two new ones and will do brake flush at the same time.

How much DOT 4 do I need to flush the whole system?

 

I used 3l about a little less last time i did mine, but i bleed each caliper 5-10 times.

 

Thanks Jones. I wouldn't have guessed that much, and Mr. Bentley is silent on that question.

 

I recently flushed mine and used about half of what jones did. The old fluid was dirty and almost black. After pushing through about 1L with a power bleeder, it was coming out nice and clean. I went though the other half for "good measure" and once the bottle was opened, I had to use it or toss it.

 

bshuted is porbabaly more accurate, i know i used an oddly large amount of formula w/ spilling and bleeding them a million times.

 

Thanks guys. I'll get 2 liters. Going to hit this on Sat.

 

2 Liters is normally what you'll need to flush and refill.

We have brake fluid available below.

You may want to DIY yourself a power bleeder. It makes this whole process so simple. I got myself a garden sprayer at ACE for about $10 and a master cylinder cap for $3 from a junk yard. A hose barb and some RTV and I was ready to rock. Others have added a pressure guage, but I just pumped it a few times until I could feel some resistance. Just go to the wheel you want to bleed, open the bleeder and watch the fluid come out.
