Looking for a good brake installation write-up

I'm switching my Z51 brake system to a Z06 brake system so I'm looking for a good write-up that some one has done in the past. Yes I searched first and spent the last hour looking but nothing good. I like to be very detailed on anything I do so write ups are nice to refer too

Any info would be greatly appreciated

I dont think Ive seen a write up, now that you mention it. But it is a very straight forward process. You could just follow the R&R procedure in the repair manual, just substitute the Z06 parts.

Remove Calipers and Brake Pads
Disconnect Brake Line
Remove Caliper Bracket
Remove Rotors
Install Z06 Rotors
Install Z06 Caliper Brackets
Attach Brake Line to Z06 Caliper
Install Z06 Caliper and Brake Pads
Bleed System

There's a great write-up on brakes in the Helm's service manuals, Don't you think if your going to do this type of work{or any} to your car, you should have a set? The first poster/reply already left out quite a bit of info! see what I mean?
