plz correct me about brakes bleeding + more questions :-)

I'm going to bleed the brakes on my AWD legacy L 95 wagon (with ABS), but I've got a couple of small questions

 

1. Amount of DOT-3 fluid necessary to completely bleed the system? is 1qt enough? or I better grab 2?

 

2. I'm confused because many people said that the right sequence is X pattern (and here) but they were laughed at in the first thread at least. So it is really a model specific I assume depending on how the system organized. Regular sense says that it should be RP, RD,FP,FD just judging by the distance to MC; so I don't understand why X (RP,FD,RD,FP) pattern for some cars... Any way - what is the right sequence for me? :-))

 

BTW a tiny question about brakes: I've changed front discs, pads but I still feel pulsation and periodic noise when I brake slowly... I tight up wheels properly (right torque, right sequence)... so does it mean that pad where wheel sit is bad already? what can I do about it?

oops - it seems that I've found an answer to the first questions

but what can I do about disks?

The pulsing could be coming from the rear brakes. Still, some minor pulsing is normal during the last few feet of a stop.
