Brake fluid question

Post by **ADS1** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 9:33 pm

I have just fitted some hel stainless brake hoses. Any idea how much brake fluid it will take to bleed and refill the system?
Thanks.
Tony.

is the system completly empty? if not then a litre bottle should do all your work, depending on how much you want to flush out of the old brake fluid.

Well obviously lost some while changing the hoses, so pretty empty. And time for a complete flush out anyway.
I will order a couple of litres then, to be on the safe side

May as well do clutch while i'm at it.

yea man, well get 2 litres then it will do way more than you will need, you will have a good bit left. i was just looking at those hel brake lines they look the buisness.

Yea, they are good. Be interesting to see how brakes feel with them on?

IMO get 2 litres and then do your clutch fluid with any leftovers

Get a good Super DOT 4 brake fluid.

Let me know how it feels, I want to replace mine aswell, for optimum braking.

1 liter is good for clutch and brake;)

I've did it last week
