Like the title says, I need some advice. Not having an instruction manual for my '92 9000 CD Turbo, I hope someone will help.
I have done brakes on all my cars (rotors included) so I am mechanically inclined. That said:
Do I need to do anything "special" to the calipers after I r/r the rotors and pads? Any special tools needed for the job?
I also want to bleed the brakes. Isn't there a tool I can buy where I can do it myself? If so, I am limited on jack stands and will have to lift either the front or rear at one time. So, as I go around I will have to bleed as well.
So, help with all of this is really appreciated. Advice on brand of brake fluid will be nice too.
Thanks!
