How much brake fluid do i need?

Looking at bleeding my brakes for the first time, how much fluid do i need to buy??  will a 500ml bottle cover it?

cheers

Get a litre then you can afford to swish out all the lines and not be worrying about using too much. 500ml isn\'t quite enough. \'Sides you can seal the container and have some for top up. They say some fluids have a shelf life but I\'ve never had a problem year to year.

yeah agree - at least a litre would be best.  I used nearly 2 when I bled mine last - but I kept getting air in the system so thats not the norm
