the bit is a T55.
How long did it take you to swap out the lines, bleed the brakes, and install the rotors??
What would you think for a 1st timer?

The rear lines were pretty easy...maybe 45 mins to an hour or so. The fronts took a little longer to get routed properly, so maybe and hour to 1.25 hours?

The rotors and pads are probably don't take long...unless your rotor is stuck on like mine was. Maybe an 2-3 hours tops for the whole lot?

The whole thing could easily be an afternoon job, depending on how quick you work.

thanks!
