How difficult is this? I may be doing it to a 86 300zx. Anyone potentially interested?

generally not worth the trouble these days. loaded calipers w/ pads are pretty cheap for most things, i would price them first.

in that case, would anyone be able to install them?

you should be able to yourself

I guess I'm most intimidated by removing the brake line from teh caliper and the bleeding of the brakes. Anyone know of any good tutorials I could look onto?

Thanks!

buy the shop manual for your '85 300zx

problem solved.

Seriously, Dave, if you can afford the cash, I'd just buy reman ones.

It's a pain in the ass to rebuild the back ones. A severe pain in the ass. Front ones are no problem, but it's still not worth it, in my opinion.

Had a buddy who wasted a lot of time rebuilding a couple of 4-piston Toyota calipers for the front of his turbo 240Z...and then it turned out that the damn calipers wouldn't fit.

Buy something that you can get a warranty on. Buy something that you can take back.

i would buy quick bleeders too, they're completely worth it imo even for one time use

^^ Thanks Dan, I think I'll do exactly that.

Quickbleeders eh? Advance has a set I assume... They make it a one person job?


THanks!
