Can someone who has done this write a quick step by step guide or offer any advice as Im going to be doing this the weekend to try and solve a braking broblem I had -

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=525825

Do you have to bleed the system?

If so whats the best brake fluid to use and how much is needed? Are those self bleed kits worth it?

Cheers

i thought i was doing it jay? yes you need to bleed them

edit - self bleed kits are so much better then doing the 2 man job as they get every last drop of air out

get about 2 bottles of brake fluid as we will need alot,
