Agree with advice about brake pipe spanner, or use a flared one.
NEVER use a normal open ended spanner on a brake line, well i learnt the hard way  :grin:

Yeah I rather do it the easy way!

As I said, got myself the draper brake line spanner RJ suggested  :smiley:

HANG on a second.

I'm ill, can't read or think straight -BUT-

Are you going for uprated pads?

I can get OEM replacement pads for about £25......  :huh:

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Put it this way. If I buy something new, it has to be better than OEM.

Brembo max discs are 43 each and ferodo ds2500 pads are 95 for the front set.


Ouch!

Those pads are awesome though, demontweeks do them cheaper. OEM on the rear for sure, but up front get something special.

Yeah that's the plan Mikey, fronts I'd like some nice 312mm drilled brakes but that would require bigger wheels and more money  :sad:

Its all about the money. Of course my experience with these brakes isnt on a golf anyway! Ha.
