Hi gang, first post here!! After 4 years of looking, I just picked up a new to me '81 SC with somewhere between 177k and infinity miles (broken ODO in 2001, elderly owner that let it sit for at least a few of those years). Pic below with my E30 5 speed sedan - which I'm planning to sell to finance 911 projects.
I'm planning on doing a brake job this weekend. Will replace rotors, soft lines, and rebuild all calipers (at least one is sticking).
My question is: Does it make any sense to do the job in two phases, starting with the rears, and tackle the fronts the next weekend? That would free up a little time for other urgent projects (some CIS sorting, lighting). I also only have two jack stands, so would save me buying two more for now.
If I R&R and bleed the rears, drive it for a week, and then do the fronts, will the whole system be effectively bled and flushed, or will I have to redo the rears anyway?
One more thing - is there anyone in the central LA area with a pressure bleeder they would be willing to loan for a weekend or two in exchange for a six pack?
Thanks in advance for the thoughts. I have already been loving reading this forum - amazing community and glad to be a part of it!
