changing brake and rotors

Well, I want to change my rotors and brakes and dont want labor to eat up my funds . I asked my friend to help me out with the install. We are both pretty handy and he has done some work with brakes but he is a little rusty since its been a while. So I come to ask if there is a thread about changing brakes and rotors or someone would be so kind and do a DIY. Also, he has a question about bleeding brakes. How do we come about doing that. Please if anyone can send me a thread or just do a brief explaination that woulld be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!

Thanks Homie that was helpful. I talked to my friend he said the brakes and calipers and rotors he can do no problem. The only thing is is worried about is how to PROPERLY bleed the brakes. So if anyone has anything it will be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks again tweesle99 for the site. We looked thru it and this helps us to to reconfirm what we need to do.

NP. I've replaced pad and don't have to bleed the brakes unless you really wanted to.

Hey everybody, that site at abunchofcars.com seems not to work anymore... I was checking it out a few weeks ago and was going to use it for my icebox install and to do my brakes. Anyway, anyone know of another site that has a DIY for the brakes?
