Question

Brake Fluid

Does anyone know how much brake fluid the brake system holds? I am going to rebuilding just about all of my trucks brake system. Since the brake system will be opened up I am replacing the calipers, hoses, and rear wheel cylinders as well as pads etc. I just want to know how much brake fluid I will need to have to refill the system as well as bleed the system.

When I rebuilt my brake system, I got the large (32oz?) bottle and used about 3/4 of it. That was with the waste from bleeding.

You are going to need a couple of quarts minimum. Depends on how lucky you are in getting all the air out first time.
