Robzki Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just done mine and 1.5ltrs seems about right, buy 2ltrs to allow for top ups afterwards as the pads wear, also best to push all of the pistons back into the calipers and hold them all in with g clamps etc, that way you push a lot of the old fluid back up the system and out into the reservoir which you can then either syringe out or remove and empty. Then when you push the new stuff through you are only bleeding the lines almost straight out of the bleed nipple, with the pistons extended they all act as small reservoirs and the new mixes with the old and makes it difficult to get a complete flush. Hopefully this makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
