When I bled my system, it took about 3 times before boiling gases stopped coming out and then i think we went one or 2 more rounds for good measure (to be sure we had all the moisture saturated fluid removed and good fresh fluid through out. Through my local club I had access to the special bleeding tool (basically a long T-bar socket with a seal and reservoir so when you open the valve on the presuurized system, the fluid travels up to the reservoir and doesn't make a disastrous mess). I was told the bleeding process runs about $65 and the special tool costs about $125. By having free access to a tool at the time, it cost me the price of a quart of brake fluid. But the process was so easy and simple with the tool, for any half decent self wrencher, I would recommend buying the tool and after 2 uses, you have paid for it in shop labor and every subsequent use is $ in your pocket. Not a bad deal all things considered.

[QUOTE="nsx4fun, post: 330774, member: 4858"] When I bled my system, it took about 3 times before boiling gases stopped coming out and then i think we went one or 2 more rounds for good measure (to be sure we had all the moisture saturated fluid removed and good fresh fluid through out.
