Need a hand changing pads

jamie · Post by **jamie** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:33 am

Was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a hand changing pads as the callipers are now hitting the aluminium bells! I have some replacement Pagids due to be delivered on Tuesday. Have never done it myself but would love to know how.
Cheers

Can MMC not get you a new one? Do you have the code?

I've set it before and I'll say it again, ditch them they are sh*t and not worth the hassle!

TBH, sounds like the previous person to fit your wheels over-torqued them, that's normally what causes the tool to snap as it's too long to cope with the extra torque going through it.

Back to the matter at hand I would love to have brakes that work for KH on the 7th Could we do a tutorial with my car and I am happy to help Mr G when he has his issues sorted

Brakes are a piece of piss btw, read the FAQs and you'll be able to do it no problem on your own. If you can change a wheel you can change your pads.
