How much brake fluid for new brake lines

[DrWong]

Hi all,

I'm about to replace all the hard brake lines. Can anybody advise how much brake fluid I'll need to refill and bleed the system afterwards?

I've got a litre of Comma dot 4, but I'm guessing that won't be enough..

TIA!

1 litre was plenty when we bled the brakes on mine last week. All depends on how much new stuff you want to bleed through the system and if you have any air left in there. We had enough to empty out all the old stuff so new fluid came through and filled the reservoir.

1Litre will be more than enough to purge the whole braking system.
