Default Anyone give me a step by step guide on replacing front brakes on a 2002 STI?

I am putting the car back to standard and removing AP 6 pots and putting on Brembos.

I will have the AP's off for a few days until i get my brembos so need to know what i do with brake lines too???

ie do i let brake fluid leak everywhere or how do i stop it etc?

Pictures of full removal would be good also?

removal is easy. the brake lines aer circular which the bolt goes through. You will really need to keep some kinda caliper on them. Dont think you wanna wanna let them drip.

You could strap them upwards and leave the brake fluid res cap on to help stop the fluid flowing out.

Cant you leave the AP;s on untill you get the brembos?
