Fitting new pads

Post by simon » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:39 pm

I'm in need new brake pads.
Looks like I'll get the EBC greens from Geary unless anyone knows of anywhere else that's cheaper.

Has anyone got any tips for fitting them? I've looked at the Elise FAQs and it seems relatively straightforward. I'll probably buy Geary's rear piston tool to help and I'll get some copper grease but do I need anything else like the anti rattle buffer things?

Cheers

Si.

I've never used the piston tool (and changed the rears about 20 times, it seems..) - just get a pair of good needlenose pliers and make sure you don't slip and cut the rubber gaiter. Piece o pash.

I've seen Stu swap front pads on an S2 with the wheels still on!
