I think the laser tool with all the adaptors is about 60 quid.

For DIY use I think this is better value

That's what I'm getting, with rears you have to take it all off then best to put in new bearings so bang them in, I had one on and back on in about 20 mins, jacked up already though. But need that tool to wind back the piston back! Fronts I rekon would take a matter of minutes. That's my first time doing it aswell.  Something that simple you might as well take it to a normal garage.

the car is 7 years old with 59k on the clock. Frst time the wife has had to get this changed and she was shocked about how much it costs.

If I did this more often then I wouldn't mind having a go myself however I have absolutely no tools apart from a big hammer various scredrivers that have migrated to my house and a wrench. None of which I remember buying.

Cheers for the info about the rewind tool. Very useful for future reference if I were to tackle this myself.
