Default SS Brake Line Install??

Anyone got any guidelines for a SS brake line install? Of course they come with no instructions.. and I'm not sure what all the bolts are for.

Also, any hints on how to remove the old lines without making a complete mess of everything?

The lines should come with a rubber plug for the line while you are replacing. The bolts should be put through the line end with the hole. The bolts have a hole to allow fluid pass through. That side goes on the calipers. You may want to check out the stoptech website and their 350z brake kit install guide since it talks about the line install.
Good luck.

Oh, and make sure you don't get ANY fluid near ANY paint since it's very bad. I used some paper towel to prevent spillage.
Of course you should bleed the brakes and might as well upgrade your fluid if you track the car.

Where do you see instructions on Stoptech's site? I couldn't find any (mine are stoptech and they didn't come with any instructions either).

I am replacing the fluid as well.. waiting on delivery of it actually before I can start any of this

Can't find decent fluid local ANYWHERE.
