Just picked up a service manual on ebay for teh cheap! now I can finally do ALL my own repairs!

Now I can't wait for my engine rebuild!!!

:banana:

 

You've been on i-club all this time and never scored an electronic service manual before now? You need to suck at the internet less.

 

I never really looked until I realized I have bubbles and cracking in my brake lines (flexable part) and I wanted to install my SS lines I have had sitting around from my Stoptech stage 2 upgrade I purchased last year.

I don't suck at the internets, i'm just lazy

 

Unfortunately, the service manual is only slightly helpful with that particular instal. What you need is a set of small metric line wrenches (actually 10mm may be the only one you really need) and a small vice-grip for when you round off one of the brake line nuts anyways. I've done or helped with 5 brake line installs, and in all 5 at least one of the nuts rounded. And one was a car with like 400 miles on it. But, if you use a line wrench (this is the nut that hold the flex line to the hard line at the inner fender) and a rubber mallet to break it loose instead of hand pressure, you should have a good chance of not stripping it. Other than that, it's very straightforward, you just need a pan to catch the brake fluid, a can of fresh stuff to flush everything, and the rest of the tools needed for a brake bleed.
