Changing the Front Brake Pads

It is a relatively easy job, you don't need a garage, but they are your brakes,

so if in any doubt at all stop, and ask someone that knows. There is one

special tool that you may not have, which is a 7mm Allen key. Most sets don't

have this size. I bought one set into a 1/2" socket from Halfords. The only

problem I had was the left disc was rusted on. I used a hub puller, but there

are other ways involving hammers etc.

If you've never done this before, you will need to force the pistons back into

the calliper’s to make space for the new discs and pads (use a big

screwdriver/bar against the piston, and mind the rubber seals), and remove

some brake fluid from the reservoir as you do so.
