I am about to install my stoptech stage 1 upgrade (lingo for pads/lines/fluid). I need to know the propper procedure for bleeding the brakes on my 350Z. I understand HOw to bleed brakes (and have done it at a previous job often), but do not know the order a 350Z is supposed to be done, or if there are any special considerations.

I had tried ddowloading a FSM..but it didn't work. Does anyone know the procedure, or ahve acess to a dowloadable FSM for a 350Z I can use?

I'll be writing up the entire procedure to post later.

THanks

Just as a matter of procedure, don't you normally go from the caliper furthest from the master cylinder and work your way towards it?

Yes most cars are that way however some cars may have a different procedure. Like my Golf R32 which starts with the left front caliper, which is the closest to the master cylinder. I am sure Exar-Kun just wants to be positive he has the correct procedure before starting.
