i'm replacing the brake fluid since I had the calipers off for painting. Using Motiv power bleeder to swap to ATE blue....is one can enough...that's all i have in the garage.
thanks in advance, RJ
thanks in advance, RJ
how much brake fluid do i need?
- Thread starter rjp
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken, ATE comes in one-liter cans. Assuming it's a full can, then yes, one liter is enough.rjp said:
thank you for the quick response (as always)

RJP,
Please let me know how the Motive product works out. Sorry to say I have one and could not get it to seal on the NSX brake reservoir.
They say up to 3.5" diameter, which is more then the NSX reservoir, but no luck here. I was thinking of a special adapter, but I have been too busy to get it made. Maybe you will have better luck.
Thanks,
LarryB

I have the power bleeder from motive products and it worked for me. The universal cap just fits (2000 model year) over master cylinder tank. I had to fiddle with the thumbscrews and contact pressure a bit but once it sealed it worked fine. Just like anything else I had to use just over a quart.
Time wise is took about 15 minutes to do all 4 wheels once the car was jacked up and the pressure held steady. Probably spent about 15 minutes setting up and futsing with it.
I've used this on all my cars (Mercedes, Honda Insight, Ford Escape, NSX).

Larry,
I bought one and it kept leaking at the reservior, so I made an adapter by using a 1/4" aluminum plate. I still couldn't make it work, so I returned it and bought Speed Bleeders for both brake and clutch. One advantage of using Speed Bleeder is no wasted fluid.
No luck with Power Bleeder.
rjp,
If your brake is completely dry, you might have to bleed it more than one time. You should keep another bottle around.
