How much brake fluid?

[peterpsg]

I'm just about to renew my brake fluid (I've ordered some suitable AP stuff) but I was wondering how much the system will need (I ordered 3x 500ml bottles just to be sure!).

Also, what have people found to be the best way to bleed the system, i.e. start on the rears first or...?

That should be plenty.
As always start with the furthest wheel on each system.

Cheers Steve, I'll just have to get a 'little bleeder' kit to help with the job...

uh...that's a lot of brake fluid! ha. I think I use up less than 1/4 of a bottle when bleeding the entire system in my car! ha.
Cheers!

The kits I got came with 4 500ml bottles. I have only used 1.5 of those - and I had some leaks and drips.
