How to change brake discs and pads yourself. Not sponsored by Reyland haha

Post by pule333 » Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:11 am

A quick tutorial on how to change front and rear discs inc new pads on a B7. I used Reyland replacement rotors but the process is the same for any pad/disc combo. Hopefully someone will find it useful.

I measures the standard bolts then bought 20 M6x30 bolts with M6 binx nuts, and bought new caliper bolts to carrier bolts, all from eBay except the carrier bolts which were Porsche ones from ECP
