How much brake fluid?
OK, how much brake fluid do I need to buy to do a brake bleed? I have searched and did not find a good answer. I have read where Stoner used like 12 quarts and someone else used 2 quarts. How much should I buy to do a brake system bleed. I was thinking about using the ATE blue stuff, DOT 4.

I bought 2 liters of the ATE Blue fluid from ebay.

This guy is good. I didn't draw all of the old fluid out (which I should have) and I didn't use a whole liter to do my entire system. When I put my wheels on in a couple of days, I may do it again just to be sure that I'm getting the full benefit of the DOT 4 fluid rather than a mixture.

Jeff, yea I am sending out the money order today. Hopefully I will have them sometime next week. Hopefully you will be able to give me a hand installing them . My IForged are built for big brakes front and rear. I have tons of clearance on the fronts. I also bought some spacers just incase I need more space.
