For the front brakes on my TR3, it took perhaps 15 minutes (I didn't really
check the time). I cracked the bleed valve open and kept an eye on it while
I did other things; once there were no bubbles rising to the top, I closed
the valve.
I don't know that it would always work so well (I had already done the rear
brakes the old-fashioned way, by asking the wife to step on the pedal), but
it sure worked slick this time. The pedal is high and the brakes work
great.
