Default Brake Pad and Fluid Change

Hey everyone,

I already performed a search on this topic and I didn't come across anything concrete.

Does anyone have a step-by-step DIY for a brake pad and fluid change for the 370z? I've never done this process before, but since I've been tracking my car I figure that I should probably learn how to do this instead of paying some shop each time I install new pads. Pictures and tools necessary listed would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!

There used to be a very good DIY video posted online (referenced in several threads here), but looks like they took it down. Here is the old link incase you want to actually try searching...

You will want to get a Motive Power Bleeder to do the fluid the easiest, fastest and safest way.
