Default Sat May 2nd - Brake kit install day

Tomorrow i will be putting on my stoptech stage 2 kit most of the day. I am looking forward to some slotted rotors and more importantly SS lines. They will be kept paired to my Spoon mono blocs up front.

If anyone wants to drop by (parent's house garage in the SW) pm me.

i know you want to be my pedal pusher for bleeding!

pics to follow

Dude, it's not too difficult, just be sure you a) have some of the special flare nut wrenches to get at the brake lines and b) your ma or pa to do the pedal pumping!

And maybe some drill bits and screw extractors in case the rotor retaining bolts are tough to get out.

Another way to bleed without pedal pumping is to use a coolant system pressure tester, with an adaptor that can screw onto brake or clutch reservoir. Trick is to find the right adaptor. I do this all the time on my Saabs, but fortuitously, the coolant tank cap is the same thread pitch as the brake/clutch reservoir. I could bleed the brakes or the clutch in like 10 minutes.
