First time wrenching a brz: Pads are so easy to swap!

This morning I put speed bleeders in, swapped OEM pads out for carbotech fr & RR pads and bled the brake fluid on my newly acquired brz. This is the easiest to work on car I've owned. Very pleased.

BTW, speed bleeders rock!

So I'm guessing w/ the speedbleeders, it's a one person job to bleed the brakes?

Yes. One person and a whole lot easier than with a motive power bleeder, one of which I have.
