Flushing Brake lines?

[DannyR]

How is this done, as I know you can't let air into the master cylinder, so surely you have to keep it all going through.

Any input is great cheers!

You just flush the old fluid through until the new fluid comes through. The reservoir must be kept above the min line throughout the whole process.

As dave says keep it topped up its the abs pump you don't want to be getting air in or that'll extend the process some.

Eezibleed kit makes it easier. The bottle can be filled up so the new fluid gets flushed through.

Cheers everyone, I'll try get it done next weekend as runing DOT 4 and 5 at the minute due to emergency track day repairs

How many litres does the system take?

1 litre should do fine. DOT 5.1 btw.

The tech specs say it takes 0.5l but I got through about 1l changing my fluid. Then, on another day, when I let the reservoir suck air in, I got through another 2l+ and lots of swearing.

I cannot stress it enough. DO NOT let the reservoir run dry

i always thought it was 1L its more like 0.5 (changing to super blue its obvious when its bleed through!)

Danny i need to bleed mine so if you fancy a bleeding session let me know Just got to get some blue fluid myself so I can see when its flushed through!
