[SmiffyLCR]

As title suggests,
How easy?

Usual Fitting time if doing by yourself?

Tools other bits required?

Any guides available?

Thanks in advance guys

Yes its easy, you will need to wind the caliper pistons back in, there is a tool for this but i used pair of pliers and it worked a treat.

remove the wheel, remove the caliper 2 12/13mm bolts. NO need to remove the caliper carrier (normally have to on most applications but you can get the disc out easily without having to remove it so dont waste your time)

remove the pads, unscrew the disc from the locator and fit the new ones.... winding back the piston is the hardest part if you dont have a wind back tool. can get them from car spares or ebay cheap.

as long as the pads arent too low and the piston has wound it self off the threads, fairly easy job, do invest in the laser caliper wind back tool though.. dont forget to open the brake fluid reservoir top when winding back

did mine the other week .. very straight forward.. jus was abit tricky for me winding the calipers back in with the windback tool .. i think they had wound right off coz the pads and disk were very worn and watch out if it pushes any fluid out of the reservoir i loosend the cap slighty and wrapped a rag around it to catch any.

What about the handbrake ? is it on a cable and it needs re adjusting?

As always, I offer a word of warning on this... be careful when undoing bolts to ensure you don't do as I did and sheer the brake line on the suspension arm
