Hi I was going to replace my brake fluid on 06 crd so my question is how many quarts do I need? and recommendations on brand besides being DOT 4. Thanks

Use speed bleed screws, and just pump the pedal. No opening/closing required.

I start with rear passenger side then rear drivers side, then FR, then FL.

I do it this way

What size speed bleed screws are the correct ones?

I have the same pressure bleeder. I have the Volvo adapter, need to order the correct one for the Jeep. Do you take the reservoir off and clean it out before flushing the fluid? Any thoughts on using DOT 4 in place of the (stock?) DOT 3? I say stock because I think my filler cap says DOT 3...

I have a Chrysler and a Euro adapter, I also have the universal one if you like leaks and fluid every where?

Good point. Forgot to mention that I don't use the fluid reservoir on my pressure system because of the chance of leaks.
I just put the fluid in the vehicles reservoir and use air pressure.
The disadvantage of this method is you have to watch the reservoir to ensure that it doesn't run dry inducing air into the brake system.

I was questioning what if that thing you made blows off?

I take my time, so I only set the pressure to 10psi.
I have a tight enough fit that it hasn't blown off yet.
If it does, it is only air.

:2cents:
why not just buy the speed bleed screws? That way you can bleed the brakes wherever you are with no problem, nice if you travel around the boondocks. They turn a PITA hour+ procedure for two people into a 40 minute one person job, with no extra tools required. I've used vacuum (which suck air) and pressure bleeds (which squirt fluid), and I think speed bleeds beat the other methods with a stick.

But it is supposed to be a free country, y'all suit yourselves!

I bought the pressure bleeder, as a Sprinter mechanic told my the brake system has about 19 different valves, and pedal bleeding is not recommended. But the speed screws sound like a good idea, basically a check valve? I mainly use my pressure bleeder for fluid changes any ways, I never have the need to bleed on the road unless I am running an old rust bucket with brake lines failing.
