Replacing brakes
« on: 03 February 2012, 19:11 »
How much would a garage charge for labour to change a complete brake setup roughly? Calipers, discs, pads, carriers and lines. Guessing they would have to be bled too. Front and rear btw :)

EDIT. read somewhere a while ago about splash guards, are they required? and the hub needs to come off or? help!

front splash guards can be left alone as they have a lip that goes inwards, doesn't interfere with bigger discs

rear splash guards have to have the lip ground off as they roll outwards so bigger discs will catch.

You can always change the splash guards for the bigger ones but it's not worth the hassle IMO
