Quick brake bleeding question



  RenaultSport 172
I'm about to replace the fluid in my 172 for RBF600. I have syphoned out most of the reservoir. My dad has lent me one of them ezebleed kits.
The problem is that the current fluid is quite new and will look a very similar colour to the new stuff. Just wonder how much I should bleed out of each caliper to ensure I have replaced the whole lot? As I won't notice the new stuff coming through

Thanks
Steve

Should have got Ate Super-blue ;)

A litre will more more than enough mate, so 250ml through each corner will see you right. Start with furthest caliper away and don't let the reservoir run too low/empty.

This mate, dont let the reservoir run dry or you will get air in the system. :(

Did mine yesterday along with racing lines, super is with the ATE fluid. Don't let master cylinder run dry, having to bleed that will make for a bad day.

All done and road tested. Never bled brakes before but it was easy :) and no pedal pumping involved. I reckon I used about 750ml but it appeared to be a lighter colour coming out than the original stuff

It's lighter because it is cleaner :) Yh I had a about the same, means you got some to top up or spare if you ever need any :)
