Wiwood Dynapros, What fluid?

[sharky]

OK so I am running a Massive street kit that I pieced together (didnt buy from Lee complete) I am getting the calipers tommorow and want to get the brake system buttoned up. What brake fluid should I be using with this and how much do I need? 1 or 2 cans? Sorry for the Brake noob

DOT 3 or 4 will work, DO NOT USE DOT 5!

1 quart/liter (I don't remember what the bottle sizes are) should be enough to flush your entire system. For my street cars I just use Valvoline synthetic if you can find it, for the track I use Motul. Pretty much any Dot 4 fluid will be adequate for street use.

thanks!!

I'd go with any DOT-4, and get a quart of it. Try not to spill too much fluid when disconnectig the hoses. If you could waste under a spoonfull or two per side, it will make bleeding a snap.

Don't forget to use teflon tape on the 1/8npt fittings at the inlet. And don't forget to post pictures either...

thanks Lee

OK so I bolted them up today, very happy. Does anyone know the bleeding procedure on this? there are 4 bleeder screws on the Wilwood Dynapros, do I need to bleed all of them or just one.

[Massive Lee]

Bleed the top ones only. Inside first. Then outside ones. After the first bleed, it doesn't really matter.

PS There are bleeders at the bottom just because Wilwood wanted to make one caliper for both sides.

thanks again Lee!!!

there isnt a brake pad sensor provision on the new pads so what do I do with the old sensor wires? Help if anyone is still looking at this thread.

either pull out the light from the guage cluster or plug in your old sensor and ziptie it out of the way
