2k4/5 brake install writeup

Does anyone have a writeup preferbally with pictures? I know Irish and others installed this and stated what parts that were needed but I don't believe anybody did a writeup. Thanks for anyone's help.

If you're installing the 6th gen calipers AND rotors, all you have to do is:

1. remove old caliper and caliper mounting brackets
2. remove old rotors
3. put on new rotors (6th gen)
4. mount up new 6th gen caliper moutning bracket/calipers - make sure to install the spring clips and brake pads...
5. attach brake lines (*make sure to use flare-end wrench)
6. bleed brakes
7. done. go "bed" the pads.
