"Nuts" to the FSM? Or the $10?

You didn't mention a thing about your mechanical ability, so I had to assume the worst.

oh my mechanical ability.... well last summer i worked at at mechanics shop working on comercial trucks and i just got accepted into a tech school during high school for auto servicing.

i just dont want to register and pay the $10

 

does the link not work, free fsm?

 

Works for me. Awesome link.

 

If you are just changing pads there shouldn't be anything else you need besides these two links above.

 

cool thanks alot guys i appreciate it

 

Here's a short write up I put together for bleeding the brakes. It also contains instructions to built a cheap adapter that you can use to pressurize the brake reservoir if you want to bleed your brakes without using the pedal method. With this adapter, you can bleed your brakes in a little over a half hour by yourself. Without the risk of ruining the seals on your master cylinder by pressing the brake pedal down too low using the brake pedal method.

jerks say you have to have an american billing and location address

 

I used my credit card from Canada - my billing address for the card is in Canada. My Aunt and Uncle live in Connecticut, so I just used their address. If you don't have family in the states, just find some address from a business or something and put that in... should work.

 

are you guys seeing a different fsm thats is BETTER than the FREE one i posted?

 

gosh dern I hate doing rear brakes!

argh.

 

Seems like everyone in eastern Canada has family in the states (myself included!)
......without them eBay would be a serious PITA.

 

i personally liked the free one because every bit helps since im going to do mine next weekend after my parts get in. thanks
