Then I found yours, and was very happy to see that they were full of information, delivered in a natural, helpful way, including the right tools needed for each step, tips on things to do to extend the life of your brake job, keep the brakes from squeaking, etc. For me, this group of videos was exactly what I needed to help me take on this project with confidence. I'm actually looking forward to it now! Thank you !!

      You always try to take it off first. Having to go loosen the star bit and then retightenin it is unnecessary if you don't need to do it. Plus this car has an auto adjust feature, so if it comes off easy that's the method that will happen.

      Better to change the fluid than to replace the lines. Fluid sucks up the water causing the rust.
      Then again if you replace a brake line you need the replace the fluid anyway.
      Worst case scenario: You do brakes, lines, fluid and then store the car. 5-10yrs later when you want to drive it again you will most likely need to replace lines/fluid/seals again.
