Ok people. I swapped from my hdi brakes to gti6 ones and just want to check a few things...
Wheel off
crack off brake line
2 calliper bolts out
calliper and discs off
new discs on
new calliper on and brake line on.
tighten it all up.
Then bleed.
I bled the drivers side first and then the passenger side. Working my way closer to the pump which is correct?
Pedal has a bit more travel and is a bit spongey which is due to not having the bigger gti6 master cylinder?
and there is a 1mm gap between the brake lines and the calliper. Is that normal? It would do up and tighter and isnt leaking fluid so i presume its all good.

Just wanted to double check as it was my first time with brakes etc.
