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

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.
