Flushing Brake System

[El corona]

Hi guys, I'm gonna be flushing the whole brake system on my AE71 and want to know how much fluid is needed to successfully accomplish this task.

how good are you at it?

 

the first time i did it, i used 4 of those brake fluid bottles. then the next time i used 3 then 2. if you're real good probably only 1. I kept losing the seal on the bleeding nipple so air would go back in when they pumped the first time, but practice makes perfect.

 

go 3, just incase.

cheers buddy, just wanted to know the amount that i needed, done it many times on diffrent cars and yes air in the system is a bitch

And start from the furthest most wheel from the brake master cylinder.

 

So you should be bleeding as follows:

 

Rear Left

Rear Right

Front Left

Front Right

 

That way you drain the majority of the old fluid first and leave the good stuff in the lines when it comes to doing the other wheels in the aforementioned sequence.

 

That way you don't use excess fluid :rolls:
