Swapping brake fluid
 
Im going to be upgrading my brake package soon (rotors, pads, lines and fluid).
My friend who is doing this install for me has asked me to find out if there is anything in particular to the fluid swapping process that he should be aware of (e.i. abs sensors need reseting, something like that). Hes a pretty darn good mechanic I just want to do a little follow up for him before he gets to it. Can anyone direct me to someone whose done a DIY on this? Any suggestions from those who have done this already? Any info would be much appreciated.

Nothing extra.

Since it's your friend doing the job for you, I'd say a 12 pack is the only part you should add to the normal procedure. :happy0180:

Nothing unusual... same as any other car :)

Ok, he said hes had some goofy stuff happen while doing the fluid for a 97 camaro a while back so hes leery about it. (something about not getting fluid to the rear brakes and some abs sensor issue). Just tryin to put his mind at easy about it since I have heard nothing bad about it so far. Like I said before, hes a good mechanic, I just want to provide him with all the information I can since hes never worked on an FR-S before, thanks!

It's already covered, but there are no surprises. A bonus is that the clutch has its own reservoir so you don't have to flush/bleed the clutch line at the same time.
