Changing Brake Fluid

[Rit]

I have pressure bled brake systems before, but never tried a gravity bleed. Approximately how long for each caliper, before I have to run back to master cylinder. Will the furthest wheel clear up without a master cylinder refill. Just trying to figure if this is a real slow process, do I walk away for awhile or stay and monitor it.

Yes it clear wih out a refill of the master cylinder. But it's is real easy with Speed Bleeders.

I just change my brake fluid with Speed Bleeder's they work great. One man job less then 45 Min's. that includes install of bleeders on four wheels.

Just did mine today, we refilled the reservoir after the rear wheels were done, then after the fronts were done.

We did the two man operation, me pumping/holding the pedal, mechanic opening/closing the bleeder plug.

Got three quarts out, three quarts in.

Speed bleeders next time.

Sounds like speed bleeders are the way go. With all the brake problems I figure I better change the fluid.

Is there a Speed Bleeder kit available for the W24?
Will the Speed Bleeder systen that was modified to fit the W20 & W22 chassis also fit the W24 as the W24 brake system is somewhat different?

No.... different system. I need access to a w24 to get the specs. Same goes for the W18.
