Re: Complete brake job - insights?

Thanks guys, sorry if its a stupid question, but more than one of you has said to do one side at a time. So this means I should do the front and rear brakes on, say the drivers side first and then do the same on the pass side? I was thinking to do both fronts first, then do the rears. I take it from the comments that this is not correct? Whats the reason to do one side at a time?

There's no hard and fast rule on which one to do first. I've always done the fronts first and then the rears. I don't have a lift so I usually just raise one end of the car at a time when I'm doing a brake job.

Let me add my voice to the chorus-use a dual master!
Also, if you don't mind, where did you buy all the parts from, and where can I get automatic adjusters?
