How much brake fluid do I need for flushing?

[The Radium King]

bleed or flush? bleeding just pushes out old fluid near the calipers; flushing changes it all out.

know your torque for the bleed valves - easily stripped.
have a flare wrench to open and bleed.
have a tall socket for torquing after.
start from furthest (rear right) and finish closest (front left).

if just a bleed, you may not need to put any fluid in the bleeder - just use it to pressurize the reservoir. even with a flush, if you keep an eye on the reservoir and don't run it dry - makes clean-up easier.

I believe it is 8-10 ft.lb (or 96-120 in/lb) - I do mine at 9 ft/lb (108 in/pd).

I got that from thread on rennlist - does anyone know if this is the correct/official torque for these?
