Default Help w/ BBK install: Thursday?

I just got my 4 wheel BBK in the mail, and I'd like to install before the week-end.

Anybody have the time Thursday afternoon to help. I don't have the tools, and I still need fluid. I'm willing to pay, just bevcause I want to do it now.

Sonics, if you guys have an opening, let me know.

Thanks,

Andy

Make sure you go easy after the install, and follow the brake bedding process as written. It was a major pain after installing my APS BBKs, heh I was so scared I was gonna screw up the discs. H3 FTW doing the low speed stuff...

I had the first 10 mile bedding done on H3, (driving on the shoulder so I wouldn't get killed). After that I was super nice to my brakes, was down shifting to slow down, rather than using the brake pedal to cut speed. So far about 12,000 miles on the brakes, and they work cherry.

Oh just a heads up, the brake dust is gonna be super nasty, my Volks get covered in dust after about a week of normal driving. Love the stopping power, but the slotted / cross drilled rotors tear up the pads mean.
