Guys,

Do I need a tool to push back the callipers when I change these pads or is this only really for the rear ones???

Cheers

fronts just push back, rears only need the special tool to set the handbrake

Cheers fella

np. it's a bit of a pain because there's so many pistons, as you push one back the others pop out, might be worth leaving the old pads in and levering them apart with a screwdriver or lever of some kind, don't forget to release the brake reservoir cap first and make sure you don't push the fluid level up so far it spils out

Got you, good idea ... thanks.

Its those little tips that stop it becoming a 2 hours job i'll bet!

20 mins a side with a bit of luck, if the snow holds off
