I just did mine last Wednesday and used approx 1 US Pint. I bleed the system manually with the aid of a friend per the write up on BTDT. No pumping prior to opening the bleeders. Open the bleeder first yell at your friend, "Slowly depress the pedal and stop short of the floorboard and hold it." Close bleeder and repeat..blah blah. Anyway did that twice, per the procedure, and away you go.
Hope it all goes well for you.
