Question
Please tell me how to bled the brakes in my car and also how much fluid to replace old one.
Where coils are located.
Thanks for help,Walter

Answer
Walter,

The coils on the valve covers.  If the coils have not been replaced I would replace all six.  rockauto.com is a good source for parts on-line as is courtesynissan.com

To bleed the brakes you need to purchase 4 pints of Ford High Performance Brake Fluid.  Purchase it at a Ford dealer.  Bleed the brakes one wheel at a time with someone puching on the pedal while another person cracks the bleeder.  Shut the bleeder before the person lets off the brake.  Repeat the process until the fluid comes out clean.  Use a rubber hose and a bottle to catch the fluid.
