brakes

My brake light stays on a lot of the time on 1990 300zx so I am going to check and change the front and rear pads. I have done this pleanty of times before but not on a car with ABS. Is the process pretty much the same? What I do is pull the wheel off, and with skipping steps pull out the old pads by forcing them outward to relieve the plunger pressure. Once I get them out I open the calipers all the way up with a screw driver and slip the new one in (Short and sweet explanation). Is there any danger in this or is it, like asked above, the same as non-ABS brake systems?

Re: check all your bulbs yet?

Thank you much and I will check those first. I am really glad people like you are out there.

Re: check all your bulbs yet?

OK, I checked all of the bulbs and everything is good. I kinda figured they would be, because the dash brake light comes on and off intermitently. So my first question still stands. Is changing the disc brakes with ABS the same as non-ABS brake systems?
