Title: Changing brakes
Post by: Johnny_tro on September 20, 2012, 09:26:32 pm

Swapping pads and discs the weekend - just standards nothing fancy.

I can do fronts fine  :happy2:

Are the rears the same procedure?

There is a guide for doing the rear if you search online

You need a caliper rewind tool to do the back but apart from that not much different
