No torque wrench needed. You'll need a clear plastic bottle (juice, soda, etc.), some clear tubing, 10mm wrench, 11mm wrench, 1L of DOT4, and a helper. Two jackstands + stock jack + stock lug wrench will suffice since you're in a pinch.

I'm sure you can get someone to come lend a hand if you offer up a few beers. They can bring a torque wrench and proper jack too I bet.

Well I am thinking about getting up early tomorrow and trying to tackle this. We will see what happens.

What's the helper for, I didn't read the whole thing you posted, person to pump brakes or something?

Pizza could be arranged and beer if I go get some tonight I suppose

But we will see.

Is there another spot to bleed besides the brakes, as in one for the clutch?

One person to pump the pedals and the other to operate the bleed nipples. Each brake caliper has two bleeders and the clutch slave cylinder has one.

So I am guessing do the order posted for brakes then do the slave?

Scheides a link would be appreciated
