I've done brakes before, but never on a Z. Any tricks, tips or warnings?

Thanks,

Gary

What all are you planning on doing? Be sure if you disconnect the hoses that you bleed the master cylinder first and thoroughly before going to the wheels for bleeding. Also, the driver side rear drum is the furthest from the master cylinder, so bleed that one after the master cylinder.

Flush the entire brake system out with fresh fluid - BEFORE you change out calipers, or rear brake cylinders. That way you don't flush old fluid into new parts...

If you need rear wheel cylinders - make sure you have the right one's before you start..

Make sure you have NEW rubber lines at the wheels ready - most have never been changed.

If you are by yourself - the harbor freight vacuum bleeder, that hooks to your compressed air - is cheap and handy.

Other than parts - it's a very simply system..

good luck,
