Yeah that should be plenty. The whole process took about 30 minutes with the car already up on jackstands.

I flushed my entire system with less than 1 liter of ATE Super Blue. I'm surprised it took you 1.5 liters to get rid of all the air bubbles. I'll be doing another flush in the next couple of weeks when I change my brake pads and I'm guessing this one will only take 1 liter as well.

I'm sure I used more fluid than necessary... I also bled the clutch line after attempting to install a ss line (no wrench to reach) and removing the restrictor.

I ordered from here three days ago and received the bleeder today. I just finished bleeding my stock brake fluid out and boy was it nasty!!! After jacking up the car and pulling the wheels the bleeding process only took 15 minutes by myself and without the car running. Basically my brakes are as solid as ever. I also added carbotech XP10 pads ...... holy christ when stopping I actually made myself car sick.

Ordered mine on Tuesday. Hope to be using it on Saturday!! Do you have to bleed the clutch at the same time if you are changing fluid type/brand???

you don't have to but with stuff like motul it goes bad after it sits for too long so you might want to. plus it's only one screw away and with the power bleeder already in action, that's an extra 10 seconds hahaha.

i ordered mine almost a week and a half ago. still haven't gotten it yet. i emailed them to ask whats up. they tell me if i think its taking to long, to refuse shipment when it actually arrives and they'll refund my money. i'm like are you serious? why don't you check and see where it is instead of saying something like that. i'm not impressed with their service. hopefully the bleeder is as good as you guys say it is.

If you ordered from Apex Performance then it is being drop-shipped direct from the manufacturer. That is where I ordered mine from, and it is every bit as good as we say it is. I now think of a brake fluid flush as a < 1 hr job for one person, including jacking the car up and taking the wheels off.

Vacula Brake Bleeder.. I bought it for the street bike. Now, I use it on all of our vehicles. Best one I ever used, hands down.

Damn, hearing all the good reviews about this product has made me want to buy this finally. So which one do I get? The 2 or 3 prong?
