It wasn't too difficult. Everything is straight forward. The hardest thing was chaning over the proportioning valve, that was a big pain in the ass. Pick up/borrow/rent some brake line wrenches, unless you want to f-up your lines. they are special, better gripping.

bleeding brakes isn't difficuly, just time consuming. If you get one of the manual gismo's for bleeding brakes, be sure not to try and go too fast, or it won't work right. its better to have a friend pumping the brakes.

get 2x the amount of brake fluid you would normally buy. becasue you'll be bleeding the whole system basically, becasue it will be open to air big time, unless you don't change the proportioning valve and booster/master cylender.

overall, should take you a nice saturday to complete fully.
wow... i guess it'll be a pain in the arse for me then... since i don't have anyone helping me out. all of my friends (gearheads, etc) moved to LA cuz of their jobs... damn~! the bolting part, i am not too worried about... bleeding brakes.... i got my cuzine to help me out on... but running the brake lines... and changing the master cylinder & porportioning valve... damn... don't even know what that looks like... better check my helms...
