Just finished flushing the brakes for the first time, very happy with the results and that I could do it myself! Here are some things I learned:
Removing the box cover in the engine bay uses an 8mm wrench;
I used a motive pressure bleeder, worked great as a one person job: 10 psi to test pressure, 15 psi with fluid;
I have a stoptech bbk, 11mm bleeder screws; and
2 wheels I did not even have to remove but 2 needed to be removed as not to strip the bleeder screws. I am buying an 11mm flare nut wrench to make future flushes easier.
Total time was 2 hours but if I did not have to take off two of the wheels I would have finished in an hour. I think doing it again I can finish much quicker.
