Brake line question
I have to replace the master cylinder on a 97 SCAB 2WD rear ABS beater truck. Anyone know the brake fluid volume of the rear and front brake lines on this truck? I don’t know if I can catch one or a few bubbles when bleeding after replacing the master cylinder so I’d like to bleed an approximate brake fluid volume and be sure I’ve removed all bubbles. Or is there a better way?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Practice makes perfect, -
Around 32 oz's.

I went a little bit more than that the last time, but I flushed the snot out it and my old 150 has the big brakes up front. Took about 40 oz's of Dot 3. Just flush the system if you want your stopping power back. Figure more for a bench bleed as well.

I always buy two bottles, and when I'm done, I'm done. Never gone past two bottles.

Thanks for the responses, all.
@Jbrew: It's the practice I ain't got that's the reason for my question. I like the bubbles, though.
@white89gt: Was my original plan but figured there may be a better way.
