Removed Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 ok guys, who would like to come over @ mine and help out next sarturday 15th July (after the dent removal meet in Warrington) to bleed the brake fluid, change brake lines and change brake pads? I have the tools, parts instructions and manual, just need some help I guess I can offer you some mean pasta dinner cooked properly by yours truly and a glass of wine as a thank you Cheers
Liam's Z Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I'll help you out mate Sooner play with your brakes before I start playing with me own
Removed Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 I'll help you out mate Sooner play with your brakes before I start playing with me own sorted then! after the dents are repaired? hopefully should be plenty of time to do it! in the manual it says to put the car on 4 axle stands, I reckon we can do it with 2 at a time? (as I don't have 4 )

Removed Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 I guess we'll do with 2, should't be a problem, we won't need to move the car half way through the bleeding process anyway, just move the axle stands from the back to the front
Liam's Z Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I'll have a chat with the boys and see If I can get a pair
Jacko Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I'd have given you a lift as well but white water rafting that day! So good luck
Removed Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 manual instructions are relatively straightforward... but with these things, you never know. Ah well, if you don't do it you never learn

Guest prescience Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Are you guys planning to do pics make a guide up later - should be a good one
Removed Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 only difference from the one we already have will be the brake lines, but i guess we could do our very own one yeah have the following at the ready: 1- next door neighbour-mechanic's SNAP ON massive toolbox (they go on holiday and he wants me to look after his precious tools!) 2- new pads Brembo Sport by Ferodo 3- 3 bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid 4- can of brake cleaner 5- NUTS-OFF spray can (ie if nuts don't come off with this, they won't ever move again) 6- draining tubes (don't allow air to be sucked back into the brake lines if brake pedal isn't kept depressed while bleeding) 7- SS brake lines from Technafit (also known as Stoptech Brake lines) 8- 350Z manual printouts 9- copper grease should be it?
Guest prescience Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Cool, first-hand experience is best but guess its gonna be one of those where if it all goes well, you'll have time to do pics but if you encounter probs. probably not gonna have time or the inclination
