I like SS, I also bought some super ATE blue and a power bleeder. So actually had every intention of bleeding the brakes. Just wondering if there any tricks.

I have read all the stuff on bleeding the brakes. Doesn't sound hard, but more of a PITA as it were. Plus some surprises in not getting the pedal to feel hard.

Thanks again.
Soak the old fittings generously with real penetrating oil (NOT WD-40) and use quality wrenches to counter-hold and open the fittings. No cursing allowed.

Women want to know if the the 911 has SS lines before accepting a ride.
And paint the calipers; red or silver is popular.

Enjoy.
