How much brake fluid?

[ThunderMug95]

I went through 4 big containers…I might have overkilled it a bit, but I can guarantee its flushed good!

Thank for the responses! Something else I forgot to ask. I see you need to remove old brake fluid from the master cylinder with a turkey baster before you get started, but none of the how to vids I've seen say how much. Would it be to the low fill line or as much as you can get out?

Don't use a turkey baster, it's too big, use your pump! Great pump by the way, have the same one. Get 2qty quarts of fluid. Drain and refill the master several times, pumping many times between changes. Once the master is clean then start on the calipers.

I extract as much fluid out of the resevoir as I can, then I begin the work replacing the pads. During that, you should be collapsing the piston into the caliper, which back feeds more fluid back into the resevoir from the lines. I then suck that out before I start the bleeding process. I use 1 large Pentonsin super DOT 4 to do all 4 corners.

I find it helpful to have one of these too, https://www.amazon.com/GreatNeck-QR...sh+button+quick+release+c+clamp,aps,87&sr=8-2 to compress the caliper

And one of these to hang the caliper...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXOLITC/?coliid=I3EDCR7FEB1O9B&colid=2ASDOY1INH34T&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1
