Brake School

[Valkpilot]

I've accumulated all the necessary parts to do a near-complete brake overhaul, front and rear.  I plan to

Install new EBC rotors  (mine are badly worn, and the micrometer tells me they are below the wear limits in front and at the wear limit in back.)
Remove & clean calipers
Install new pads (sintered)
Install SS braided brake lines
Install SS braided clutch line
Install Speed Bleeders for both brakes and clutch

While I'm at it, I've also got the parts to do a petcock rebuild and vac line replacement.

So...

One weekend in the near future, you're welcome to come observe, help, or heckle as I tackle the job.  I'd prefer to do it at my place due to the extent of the tear down required.

Stay tuned...

Sounds like an all-day sucker!

February Wrench Party???

BTW, which SS lines did you go with.  Those are on my to-do list pending my handlebar experiment.

If we want to make it the Feb Wrench Party, that's fine with me.  I've got two garage bays to work in plus the driveway, and if the house next door is still vacant, the driveway there.  I've got a lift, but it'll be in use  .  I've also got a floor jack that can be used in a pinch.

I bought the Goodridge brake lines: http://www.hondadirectlineofshadyside.com/stores/product.asp?pid=6683&str=2&ID=180371282  The guy at HDL said he sold a lot of them with no complaints, and I had no preference.

For the clutch line I got this: http://www.hondadirectlineofshadyside.com/stores/product.asp?pid=371&str=2&ID=180371282

OMG!  I'm actually off work on a Wrench Party Saturday!!

    I'll be there.. no matter where Valkpilot lives.. Okla, Ark, Nev..  Hopefully in N. Texas.

What can I bring (besides two saddle bags full of my stuff)?
 Ohm meter?  Connectors?  Advice?
             Please scratch the last one 'cause I'll be there to follow directions not give directions.

           Ooops.    I guess I need to put my previous post where it should be --- wrench party
