So.. for the past two months, my rear control arms have been off the car, and the brake lines were just sort of hanging out, disconnected. This week, the brake lines were re-connected, and the suspension reassembled.
My friend and I are using one of those 'one man' bleeder kits to remove the air that was introduced by disassembling everything. We got the air out of the rear calipers (took a little over 1/2 liter of brake fluid), but now we've moved to the front and while bleeding the right front alone, we've already gone through 1/2 liter of brake fluid and large air bubbles are still coming out. Does this seem excessive? How much should I go through before I become concerned that there is a problem (leak i guess?).
Note that this is not exactly a Z, but a Nissan s12, but I'm assuming that most of the advice will carry over.
