Hey guys
On the road to getting my Eg sedan back on the road. I am a bit of a DIY warrior and this is the most DIY i have done and really been learning as i go.
Basically Done a complete all Disc conversion with big spoon 4 pots up front, ITR 1inch master, braided brake lines, 4040 prop valve.
* First any advice on brake bleeding? some tricks to do it efficiently? is there a special way to bleed the twin block calipers as there seem to be 2 bleeding valves? (one on each side?)
* The bolts that hold in the brake lines, they have washers around them. do these washers go between the caiper and brake line? or between the brake line and the bolt?
*Suspension did the Tein Flex coilovers with ITR rear LCAs and Omni Power Front LCAs.
Is there anything i need to do to run any of these parts in? or really is it more of a *test and tune* approach? Keep in mind all these parts are brand new.
Also since alot of gear has been removed and re-attached...
trailing arms, controll arms, suspension, knuckles.. etc etc
im guessing would be a good idea at the end to go through and simple re-tighten every bolt... for piece of mine?
Is it very import to use a torque wrench? or simply just tighten to nice and firm ?
I think thats about it..
Anyway advice is very very welcome.
The may sound very noob... but my car has been off the road for going on 4months now and i blown nearly 5 figures on parts... dont want to take any chances. want to be able to drive my car without worry and safely
Thanks in advance
Regards Lyle
