Taking my calipers off to rub them to the bone then paint followed by some nice 'Supra' decals ;)

 

Anyone able to tell me how I go about removing & fitting them as i'm not sure how to bleed the system etc...a step by step guide would be ideal

 

cheers :cool:

You take the bleed nipple of the calipers, which under the bleed nipple, you will find a tiny nozzle in which, the brake fliud will pour out!

So its an idea to have a tube of some sort fitted over the nozzle and into a container which the brake fliud will drain into...

 

Hope this helps!

2 man job really to do it right.

 

Man 1 - undoes the nipple, and holds the container, man - 2 pumps the brakes. (Few good pumps until the air bubbles clear or fresh fluid is visible), on the final pump hold down the pedal then man 1 closes up the nipple.

 

Repeat this round the car, start with the rear passenger side, then rear drivers side, then front passenger side, and finally front drivers side.

 

If you are car has ABS you will need to prime the ABS system by clicking to ignition.

Gav, when would you click ignition on in the bleeding process?
