Done calipers and disks on previous cars, but not had to touch the brake system in the Z yet, and would rather have a go myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So...keep me right....nooby, I know.
- empty brake fluid res as much as poss and fill up with fresh fluid
- use fancy technical 2x2 under clutch (haha)
- jack up car, remove wheel and loosen bleed cap
- fit piping, get missus to apply brake (fully, partly?) until fluid flows without air bubbles into empty container
- tighten bleed cap (with brake pedal depressed I assume?)
- rinse and repeat on all 4 corners
- top up fluid reservoir
- make sure brake pedal feels solid enough
Anything there gonna kill me/the car?
Ta in advance! Always happy to tackle these when they come up, but never had to do brake fluid...very odd.
I tried a Gunson EaziBleed last time, once I finally got it connected, set-up and started, a seal came unseated and splurged brake fluid all down the engine bay which had to be cleaned off sharpish. The Eazibleed was IMHO a piece of cheap cra@p and went in the bin. I'm sure people have good results with it, but checking on-line reviews afterwards (too late) there was a lot of similar complaints.
