thank you Brembo

You should always crack the bleed screws. You don't want debris going back upstream to the abs unit / master cylinder.

Hey DJ, I'll buy you a Power Bleeder if you teach me how to change pads and get Sammy to teach me how to change the brake fluid.

Unfortunately with your fancy schmancy 987 you need a PST tool to actuate the ABS to get all the brake fluid out. I don't have a PST tool.

Anyone, how big of a deal is it to flush the system by clearing out the ABS module? It sounds important to me as the goal is to get all the old fluid out, but hey, you never now?

Or even better, how much is a PST tool?

Just a note: One of the best things you can do to improve your braking performance is to put on stainless steel lines. I changed my pads/rotors one week, then finally got a chance to change the lines/fluid the following week... The pads/rotors were a decent improvement, but changing out the brake lines was NIGHT AND DAY.

how much did that cost you? the lines

You can get new lines for less than $70 shipped from a ton of companies.

I did the ss brake lines in a previous car and it felt better in autox/track but it made the brake a little tough for street use. Took away that cushy feeling. One of the only mods I had reversed back to stock.
