Ok Back to Basics,I will Try and guide the complete novice into changing front pads step by step First Park up the car in a nice safe place away from kids. Loosen wheel nuts so they are easily undone when wheel in the air Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie. The only certainty of which is death.

Now you will Need a 13mm spanner and a 17mm Spanner..First loosen the whole assembly by turning the 13mm spanner only, once that starts to spin, hold the 17mm and the undo the bolt Dont take complety out untill both are finger tight, once out stick the bolts to one side Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

You will now be able to wiggle the caliper off,It may take a bit of wiggling but will pop off Now is the best time to take the Wear sensors (Them 2 wires) out, This is what it looks like Dont stress the brake fluid pipe, the caliper will rest on the disc, but its best to get a welding rod, or a wire hanger, and hang the caliper off the spring Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

Now here is the clever part..UNDO THE BRAKE RESEVOIR This is the proper kit for the job, they cost less than a tenner and make the job MUCH easier, You will need to push the piston back into place, if you are suck then a flat bar across the piston and a big screwdriver to push it will be ok, just dont deform the piston Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

Now this Magical stuff is called Copperslip, WHY Cos its got copper in it, and its slippery  It has a very high melt point, and wont wash away like grease, its used to stop brake squel and you will find many a use for it. Costs less than a fiver and will last for years Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie. The only certainty of which is death.

Now do the reverse to put all back together...Dont worry if the caliper moves backwards and forwards a bit, All you will need to do is press the brake a few times and it will move back into place Sit back and admire Welly has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Life is a lie.

Now you will need to do the same on the other side.A few things to note DONT put the new pad face down on the ground, it will get covered in dust and will scratch the disc DO use thread lock on the bolts not to much though DO tighten all bolts up as tight as they will go, And best check them after 50-60 miles DO bleed the brakes while your there DONT rag the brakes as they will need Bedding in for at LEAST 100 miles before they "key" To the disc properly, and will have full potential HAPPY HUNTING PEEPS  ________________________________________ Life is a lie.
