Just wanted to say thanks for the DIY. I ordered my stuff the other night and can't wait to flush my brakes myself.

Thanks for this awesome DIY. I bled my brakes yesterday and I thinkeverything went smoothly. Prior to bleeding, I installed new rotors and pads. After bleeding the brakes, I was able to push the brake pedal all the way to the ground before it started to feel firm. It's firm now and the car stops great.

My question is, would pumping the brakes before I started bleeding them have resulted in better pedal feel? In other words, did that initial pump of the brake pedal that went to the floor cause air to be introduced into the system? Should I re-bleed my brakes?

It shouldn't introduce air unless you emptied the reservoir. Make sure it is full.

HI people i have a question... im going to work on my brakes and i want to change the fluid.... my question is how much bottles of motul rbf600 i need to made the compete fluid change?

I read in a thread that just 1 bottle but i think is more than 1 bottle... i want to make sure haha!

Thanks!

I use two bottles. It's actually more like 1.5 bottles. But the fluid doesn't have a shelf life after the seal is broken, so I go ahead and use the entirety of both bottles :twocents:

Perfect bro! Thanks a lot :) thats what i was thinking about :tup:

Hey guys, I need to do this and i have a quick question. The bubbles in the lines is air being taken out? so stop when there is just fresh fluid and no bubbles coming out right? I am worried about doing this and then pushing the brakes and not stopping because there is air left in the lines.

Correct. When bleeding each wheel, once it's obvious that the fresh fluid has reached the caliper and there's no evidence of bubbles (air) in the fluid, you should be good to go. Tighten down the bleeder valve(s) … but don't over-tightened … and fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the max level. Test the brakes … they should be firm. If there is air in the line(s), it will be obvious. The brakes will feel soft and spongy. Trust this helps.

Thanks man!

yah, but make sure u are not introducing new bubbles due to a leaking tube to the caliper nipple. u might mistaken it as old fluid.

my little kid helps me monitor the reservoir level while i bleed from the calipers. i use a valved replenish bottle.

Does anyone know if the 370z has a specific cap fitting for this motive bleeder?

A friend has a power bleeder, that he has used on several cars, but suggested I find out if this is a universal fit, or there is a particular size that fits the 370z?

The one with the three prong locking tabs. Motive Adapter 1107 or 1117.

Thanks for the write up. Did this today and can confirm 2 bottles was enough.

Thanks for the DIY! Used it this weekend. Worked great. I used right at 2 bottles as well ^^

Just wondering what happens when you pressurized the motive container. There is air being introduced through the line into the brake fluid reservoir before the fluid. Since it is a closed system, where is that air going to go except through the line into the system?
