How hard is a full brake job, honestly?

Forgot to mention, make sure if you use a synthetic brake fluid that it does NOT contain silicone, silicone brake fluid is 1) not compatible with conventional brake fluid, will require flushing the system with denatured alcohol first, and 2) silicone fluid isn't compatible with ABS, under the high pressure that is present in the ABS system, it will start to solidify and it will plug up the ABS valve body.

the higher the DOT number, the higher the boiling point. DOT5 in most cases = synthetic (but I have seen DOT 5.1 that is regular brake fluid) DOT 3 and DOT 4 are conventional.

As for fluid capacity, it usually takes me one to one and a half bottles to do a flush at work, depending on how nasty the original fluid was.
