Flushing Brake Fluid
Discussion
IIRC 1 litre should be enough, though I always tend to err on the safe side - just in case bleeding's a problem.
Not trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs but presumably you're aware of bleeding furthest from m/c first and topping up before the m/c drains?
I've used a Gunson Eezibleed pressurised brake bleeder with almost total success over the last few years. Makes it a lot easier as you can complete the bleeding single-handed. Do note that the max. pressure from the spare wheel is 20psi.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.
Lakelord vv sounds as if he knows what he's doing so I'd go with that.
More info maybe on Saabscene?
I'll be interested to know the outcome as I'm scheduled to do my 9-5 once the weather allows. P.

Cheers pewe but I read here http://www.saab9000.com/procedures/braking/brakebl... that if you have ABS, which mine does, you bleed the front callipers first.Anyone else have a view?
