Brake Fluid/ Bleeding

[97C28O]

Hi guys, its time for a brake fluid/bleed.

I'm thinking of using ATE Super Blue. However, how many bottles would I need to complete this job?

I've done it with 2/3 of a can.

do you know size the bleeding bolt is?

Not off hand. For what it is worth I did us a Motive power bleeder so not much fluid was wasted. Just opened the valve until blue fluid came through.

ok i just got my Motive Power Bleeder and a bottle of ATE Super Blue.

I have another question... How/What is the proper way to raise the car on ALL FOURS to make this bleeding process easier at home? I dont see any jack support points under the car, only the jackpoints for the OEM Jack..?

The four hard rubber/plastic jackpads are just inboard of the little trap door for the OEM jack. Possible that you may have lost one or two but not all four. I just bought a 2000 C230 and a 1999 C280 and for some reason both were missing the right rear jack pad.
