[lightning69]

Hey guys,,just replaced the front calipers on my f150 lightning,bled them and put 500ml of fluid in each,,just wondering how much other ppl have put in theres,i know you just do it till the bubbles stop but does anyone know roughly how much they used??

Hi mate , think I did at least half a ltr each side when I replaced the front hoses, think I went more for no bubbles and flushing out old fluid . I did get a gallon of fluid from Halfords so I didn't have to worry about how much I used .Cant actually help you with the capacity though.

Just out of interest how much did your calipers cost you , and was that over here and did you need to give them cores ( your old ones) , oh and any part numbers ??

Cheers mate.

Sounds like i wasnt far out then,i used half a litre in each,it seems pretty much the same as it was before and i havnt gone into any trees or walls yet I got mine from john woolfe,they were about £260 and came with new/refurbed caliper plus all the cores,and when i send the old ones back il get a few quid back,,one strange thing i noticed when i changed them was that the slider clips were the opposite way round on the driver side to the passenger side,,,just thought it worth a mentionil have to get back to you for part numbers,im not sure if they were on the box
