Changing brake fluid

[JonathanS]

I am planning to install speed bleeders and then change my brake fluid.

I have been relying on ramps for my repair/maintenance work (oil change, ATF change, installation of ATF cooler and ATF filter). By the way, someday I am going to write up the adventure of changing the ATF fluid. The last owner's mechanic had glued the tranny pan on with gasket maker that was so tight, it took hours of work to remove.

Anyway, is this brake work the job that will require me to invest in a proper jack and two pairs of jack stands? Also, it doesn't look like I actually need to remove the wheels to install and access the brake bleeders. Is that right?

even with the "speed bleeders" it is a good idea to follow the recomended patern and having the whole car elevated will make it easier. I would spend the $19.00 and get the jack stands.

I can't imagine what a PITA it was doing the trany pan with only one set of car ramps.
