brake fluid/bleeding question
I was just curious how much fluid is needed to bleed the brake system? I am getting the Ate Super Blue, it comes in a 1 liter container. Also, any tips/advice on the best way to bleed the brakes? I'm going to get the bleeder tool from germanautoparts.com so that should make it easier. Should I bleed one caliper at a time, or all at once? Is it obvious that I have no idea what I am talking about? ;-)
Thanks,
Brian

Re: brake fluid/bleeding answers
One liter should be enough to replace the fluid in your system, with some left over.
Follow the instructions that should come with your (Speedbleeder?). Always bleed from the furthest caliper from your reservoir to the closest. In other words, bleed in this order (probably) RR, LR, RF, LF.
Don't forget to periodically refill the brake fluid reservoir, while you are bleeding. Don't let it run dry or you will have to start over.
HTH,
