Bleeding my brakes what do I need to know?
Okay, so this is what I know so far.
Brake bleed order:
Driver Rear, Passenger Front, Passenger Rear, and Driver Front.
I am going to be using the Motive 107 Brake System Power Bleeder and using Castrol SRF Brake Fluid.
Anything else I should know? How many Liters of brake fluid do I need? do I need to do the clutch as well?
Thanks!

I personally can never get a good bleed with those stupid power bleeders. Maybe I'm incompetent. I have a buddy sit in the car and help me with the bleed. Brake pedal is FIRM for track days so I'll keep using that method.
You should need about half a liter to flush the entire system. Might as well do the clutch since it shares the same reservoir with the brake fluid. Good luck.

Its actually passenger rear, driver front, driver rear, passenger front. Power bleeder usually works on to ge the old fluid pulled out, and the new fluid pulled through. I usually do a few bleeds per bleeder with the pedal after I use a power bleeder though. Also, do the outside bleeder, then the inside bleeder.

I find it easiest to jack the whole car up and take off all four wheels at once.
Lift the rear via the rear diff, and the front use the chassis leg just as it goes up to the fire wall. Jack points are here:
As for the clutch, all you have to do is pressurize the Motive bleeder and then crack open the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder.
