[QUOTE=hirev,May 3 2010, 12:08 PM] in jan i changed the front pads and rotors myself, it was
easy enough, all i had were the instructions which are here in the sticky area and a exploded photo of where all the parts

 

the squeaky sounds you hear is probably the infamous tranny whine. It's very high pitch and lasts for a second or so and it's gone. This happens in mine to.

you're looking at two people to bleed the brake unless u have a special kit. One person to pump the brake while the other keep track of the fluid and locking the nuts.

for fluid, buy the ATE if you can because it's not the yellowish color but blue so it's makes differentiating the new fluid and old fluid easier.

 

oh yeah if you can get a turkey blaster and suck some of the fluid out to get some of the debris out to but remember u don't want to drain it all IIRC.

Btw get slotted rotor just cause they look nice. : D

 

No need for 2 people or special tools. Just do the gravity bleed. You never need to touch the brake pedal and the results are excellent.

 

OK thats what I was thinking. It should be good then. Hopefully I can get this done later this week. I just don't have access to any sort of garage until the end of the week.

 

i tried the gravity bleeding method and it didnt work for me. Was taking way to long.

 

You have to tilt the tubing to a vertical position and let it fill up almost to the top. It fills up pretty quick this way. Then, tilt it down into a container and repeat the process Just be careful when you tilt not to let air go in through were the tip of the tubing connects to the bleed valve and be sure to tilt back up BEFORE you are out of fluid in the tube.

 

do you unhook the hose from the caliper then?
