Volunteers to help install my high temp brake fluid and pads with me?
 
Volunteers to help install my high temp brake fluid and pads with me? I've never installed brake fluid and don't want to mess it up doing it alone with directions since it's the most important part of the car. I also got my track/street pads so it would be nice to get help with that as well since I've only installed pads once and that was with someone else at the time.

If you can't help but have changed pads in the BRZ/FR-S before, tips, tools required, or anything else would be appreciated.

I have brake fluid that's been sitting on my shelf. Heard it doesn't last as long so wanted to wait till I was going to the track. I've never changed out the brake fluid but I suppose we could muddle through it together. Can't be that hard. Which pads did you pick up?

-Carbotech AX6
-Motul RBF600 Racing Brake Fluid

As soon as the speed bleeders are here next week lets try to get our cars fluid swapped. :w00t:

As long as we follow this DIY, I'm sure we will be fine.

Either Saturday or Sunday of next weekend will be my target. I'm getting more ink work done the following weekend and will be out of commission for a few days. If Darren isn't available for some shop time then we can use my garage. It's a bit cramped but will be sufficient.

I have a BBQ at a friends Saturday the 27th at 5 but I'm free before that and all day Sunday. I will have my ensolite on Wednesday supposedly so if possible lets do some sound dampening work Sunday as well. I have the Thursday before that weekend free too if needed. If only my headers would get here by then too. ;) I'll have the gaskets and those odd transmission springs in the next few days however.
