Brake Fluid
Going to order a Motive power bleeder. Is one liter of brake fluid enough to do a full flush, or do I need two?

I used a full two liters and that includes flushing the clutch at the same time.

Mine is an auto, so no clutch, but it sounds like I should get 2 just in case. Don't mind the extra $$, but with alternating colors, it will be a while before I need blue again!

Also depends how bad/old the fluid is. When I flushed mine I was getting "crud" out of a rear caliper which necessitated more flushing than normal. Buy 2 and have enough rather than buying 1 and coming up short.

The system hold less than .5 of a liter.

On our work on cars days I usually use 2/3rds of a liter, which includes the clutch.

How do you do the clutch. Is there a DIY with pictures?

Thanks
