Changing brake pads
« on: 12 March 2009, 19:36 »
How easy is it chaps? Will i need to bleed the beggers first, or is it a couple of retaining pins, wax on wax off and job done?

took me 20 min a side. dont need to bleed the brakes.  just take the lid of the b/f and use a G clamp to push the piston back in.

If you're doing the rears too, it'd make life a whole lot easier if you got yourself a proper piston windback tool from halfords.
