bleeding system
Its been a while since I have done this. Do you start with the closest wheel first or the furthest? And is it the wheel closest/furthest from the master cylinder or the ABS manifold?

About how much brake fluid will I need to flush the stock system in my Y2K Legacy.

You should be able to empty and refill your system with 1.5 quarts. That is even with quite a bit of "extra" to make sure that the old stuff is out.

I was told that you're supposed to bleed from the wheel furthest from the driver position, then move inwards towards the driver position.
