With the help of a friend, we will be changing the oil/filter, brake and coolant fluids. Are there and tips/tricks anyone can share to avoid common pitfalls?
Called dealer to buy a new radiator cap and he said there might be a difference between 96 GTS and 97 GTS caps. The 97 is described as "pressurized", the 96 cap has no description in his catalog. Any advice?
I have a 4 post lift.
Do I need to pull the rr wheel to bleed brake system?
TIA

brakes:

A vacuum or pressure bleeder makes it easier. The pressure bleeder is easiest for me because it adds brake fluid during the bleeding process so I don't have to worry about checking the reservoir while bleeding.

Start from the farthest corner and work your way to the nearest corner. passenger-rear, driver-rear, passenger-front, driver front. The fronts have two bleeder valves. do inner/outer/inner.

It's always easier with the tires off.
