Question Brake Flush and rotor specs

Gilly, I know you've talked about these things a bit before, but I have a few more detailed questions. What pressure should be used to flush the brake fluid with a power bleeder? I've got one of the jugs (with pressure gauge) you pump up manually and wondered what your power unit at the shop runs at or what you'd recommend if your shop unit doesn't have a gauge.
The other question is rotor specs. My fronts (99' 320) are stamped 23mm and my rears say 13mm. Is that really the min spec or the service spec you mentioned before? If I'm at or above that, can I put on new pads or do I still need more metal? If these are really the minimum usable specs and an independent shop were to replace my pads, how would they know what to use as the service spec to determine if they can just repad or if they should replace the rotors too. Seems like both should be on there unless there is some sort of industry standard or something. Thanks for your help.
