when ya gonna be doing it? all you gotta do, is sense you're pulling the lines anyway, just put on the new ones, and pump out all the old stuff through the calipers... make sure you don't run the master cylinder dry!!! that's critical!!!

if ya need any help, i don't mind... i'm in NOVA... so it's not too bad a drive..

So basically I should just buy a huge *** box of DOT3 and then just slowly bleed the hell out until all the stuff coming out is the new stuff?

GET IT DONE BY EXPERIENCED MECHANICS!!

Not worth saving the 50$.. bleeding lines sucks *** and you always end up with air in the lines

P.S. get DOT4 or 5.1

if you don't do it enough, then you get air.. i have successfully performed this on atleast 6 cars.. without ANY problems... i bleed my brakes once a month, due to autocrossing, and never have any trouble.. i bleed many peoples cars for track days, and they never experience a "spongy" pedal..

buy something from ATE, i use super-blue..
