16v/williams brake upgrade - fitting!!



  mk1 ph2 1.4
Finally aquired a 16v/williams brake set up for my 1.4 for 50 squid and was looking for some advice. I've got all the calipers, caliper brackets, disks, pads, hoses, bolts etc.
I've being having a browse through existing forums and didn't find much really useful about fitting.
I've got a rough idea, and a Haynes, (and a grandad at the ready :D ) but how do I go about it? Just any rough steps would be great, or if theres already a thread on here explaining a generous link would be appreciated! ;)
Anything in particular I should beware of aswel?

Is it literally a case of removing the pads, then the hose the calipers and the brackets, then the disks, then fit the caliper brackets, new disks, the new calipers, the new pads, connect the hoses and bleed? Or to that affect lol i really dont have a clue! :eek:

Plus whats the best way to clean the disks as they look slightly rusty (although they're hardly worn). And any recommendation on new fluid or could I just use the old fluid again?

CHEERS!
 
Its just like chnaging your disks take the caliper off and the bracket which olds the caliepr on and put the bigger disk on then put yor new caliper bracket on and if you can your old caliper.

The Halfords stuff is fne for most use unfortunatly they have stopped selling the superb castrol super response stuff.

Clean disks, best ways stick them on and brake hard.
