5 minutes per tire or less.....nice! Pumped the Blue fluid to replace the gold colored stuff. Used about 1/2 liter of fluid.

JB,
You do know there are two bleeder valves per wheel, right?
Or, do you feel that doing just the outer valve is good enough?

I think someone needs to get some caliper paint.

Yes, I need a floor jack. Time for a visit to Harbor Freight.
The stock jack works but the effort required is tiring as it has a lot of resistance.
It would have been easier if I had not used a piece of lumber under the jack.
The calipers were quite dirty with brake dust but are beautifully painted with an almost 3D effect. The flash made them look absolutely bizarre due to the depth and gloss.
It was so hot outside in the blistering sun I did not bother to clean the calipers and the rims. Even hotter in the garage hence the outside work.
You take the bad with the good in Califronia, but I'll enjoy the good in January with the top down 
Having been Canadian I don't miss the cold at all and would rather sweat in the heat and take a plunge in the lake than have to try and work with gloves in the garage.

You won't have trouble finding it.
BTW, will you be bleeding the clutch?
Both the brake system and the clutch share same fluid.
The clutch bleeder valve is not easy to get to but you still have left over brake fluid.

Brake flush:
1. Buy a turkey baster.
2. Suck up fluid from reservoir
3. Add new fluid.
4. Release your to lazy to finish, and call it good.
5. Repeat after 20-50 miles of driving and say "Good enough..." lol
DONE! lol
(I'm totally joking, HOWEVER, I do know people that do this with there personal cars and always seem to have clean fluid..... lol)

Hmmmmm, did not know that about the clutch sharing the brake fluid, I'll have to look for the clutch bleed screw, Just one???
I found the Brake pad specs. My Fronts are 1/4"(6.4mm) and Rears 3/8"(9.5mm) so 53% and 90% respectively.
