Hey @F1point4, thanks a lot for the awesome writeup. I'm going to attempt this today and I hope you see this
Is it necessary to replace the retaining clip for the lines? My braided lines didn't come with a new clip and I just want to make sure whether or not this is a re-usable part. |

Also I see that you have screenshots from the service manual. I found the topic linking it but both mirrors (mediafire, 4shared) are no longer available. Do you know of any alternative mirrors or is there any chance that you could share it somehow? EDIT: is it necessary to put thread-locker on the caliper mounting bolts? I am not 100% sure about this - do you know if the new OEM bolts come pre-loaded with thread-locker? EDIT EDIT: while I'm busy here, I might as well ask lol. The mounting bolts are tight - but like... ****ing tight. I broke my socket wrench trying to loosen it with copious amounts of penetrating fluid and some hammering. So following some advice I managed to loosen the front ones by turning the wheels to clear some space and using a longer bar. BUT - there is hardly any space to work in the back wheel wells. How are you supposed to use a breaker bar to get them loose?? My plan at the moment is to use the brakes hard enough to get everything hot and then try to loosen it... Would you say it makes sense to take it to a shop with an impact gun - have them loosen it to break the rust - then re-tighten to be worked on later? Effort I know, but I'm getting a bit out of ideas. Thanks Last edited by LostSalad; 06-30-2015 at 05:24 PM. |

I think you can use the old one. If it fits properly that's the route I would go. I am not aware of any alternative mirrors. Sorry I would not be able to share it. As for thread locker, I think it helps to have it in there so bolts don't vibrate loose under braking. I don't know if new OEM bolts come preloaded. Hope this helps.

Before I go and do the lines this weekend I just wanted to clarify some things - I only have 1l of fluid handy and I don't want to make any mistakes while watching a leak.
Thanks |

Really useful DIY! The pictures really make it.
I'm having a hell of a time with the hard line nuts. This is the second one, but on the first one, suddenly the flare wrench broke free, and I thought I had it. Turns out, it just stripped every single corner of the nut. I just switched over to the opposite side, hoping for better results. It began to strip, and I stopped, resulting in this. I'm about to PB blast the hell out of it, but just wondering if anyone else had this much of a problem with these particular nuts. I saw one guy towards the beginning of this thread say he had to use pliers. Better option, anyone?

If I decide to try again, I'll use a set of vicegrips on that line nut. |

Damn. Well I'm trying to install this brand new AP Sprint kit, so I shan't be giving up. The lines are just one small part.

Anyone know the bleeder screw size for the clutch slave cylinder? I want to get a speed bleeder for it.

One hint for keeping the brake fluid in the lines and off your floor: These rubber plugs fit in the lines perfectly and prevented any leaks. (I think the pink ones are the plugs I used so you really only need to order those if they're available in only that size) Long story but I had to leave the country in the middle of my upgrade and when I came back two weeks later they were still in place and my floor was dry.
