Arnold Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi all I'm about to change my brakes for new disks/pads, and just wondering how much fluid i'll need? I've got a 500ml bottle if that's enough? CheersArnold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smobey_sutton2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You won't need any fluid if your only changing discs and pads mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Zoe* Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Say your changing lines as well (as I will be doing next week hopefully) would 500ml be enough ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smobey_sutton2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah should definately be enough. To do a whole brake fluid change I would usually use just under 1 litre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remembered last time I changed the brakes / lines and bought fluid for that, but that's already done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mech5107 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I changed the master cylinder and bleed all the corners with just a bottle of ATE superblue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
