I'm getting ready to change brake pads, fluid, and put on stainless braided lines, and I have a couple of questions for those that have experience in this area:

1. What is the brake fluid capacity of the S2000? Will a 1 liter can of ATE SuperBlue be enough?

2. The Helm manual talks about using Molykote M77 grease when changing pads, but I haven't seen anyone here mention that step when discussing brake pad swaps. Is it necessary, or can it be skipped safely? If you skipped it, did you get excessive noise?

3. Any issues I should be prepared for with the Porterfield R4S pads or Comptech/Goodridge lines?

Thanks in advance,

Ted

Once again CD is right on the mark.......!

 

Chris,

thanks for the detailed reply. I'll pick up some hi-temp grease...

I put the Goodridge lines on, as well. Perfect fit, even if they are a little tight. Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that you use a 3/4 closed wrench to take the lines off and putting the new ones on? Damn, now I can't recall what the real name of the wrench is...pipe wrench? Shit, help me out guys...I had to buy a whole damn SET of them cuz Sears didn't have the one that I needed separately.

WTF is that style of wrench called?!?!?

In my struggle to remember the words "flare nut wrench" I used the term 3/4 closed wrench, not a 3/4 INCH wrench!

The Goodridge lines use Metric...but beware that Speedbleeders do NOT use Metric...I don't recall the exact SAE size, proabaly 1/2 inch, so be aware of that fact.

Yes, a line wrench is the same thing as a flare nut wrench. Sorry for the confusion...
