Is there a write up on 50S front brake pad replacement?

I will be changing my front pads tomorrow and machining the rotors, Think i should do a write up or not really in demand?
 
Not really a whole lot to it really, if you have changed brake pads on any car the same procedure/concepts apply here. Now if you are changing to SS brake line that may be noteworthy, I love mine by the way. The pedal feel is much better.
 
There isn't much to it, but that's if you have some experience. I added FX50 brakes to my 1st gen and swapped to SS lines without any DIY. But I've also done brake caliper swaps before, just not on an FX. The principles are the same so it's pretty obvious what the steps are.

However, if you've never done brakes before, it can seem intimidating since the consequences of doing it wrong can be catastrophic. I'd put the DIY up if you have time. It may give someone the confidence to do it themselves.
 
Here you go, same exact process I followed replacing my G37 front brakes. For the rear the only hard part was removing the bolt that holds the caliper, no room for the bottom bolt.

I can't post URL but try searching "370Z front brake pad and rotor" if you find under Edmunds you are golden, they have detailed pictures to go with it.
