Replacing brake pads and lines

[Craigus]

So, I have got front and rear pads to fit, and stainless steel brake hoses. Garage quoted me £155 to fit, which seemed a bit steep. Is it hard to do yourself?

I have got a trolley jack and two axle stands, and have done a little bit of maintenance work on my cars in the past, what are the logistics of doing this? I am a bit worried about messing up on this as it is the brakes. Any advice would be great!

It's east dude. I think there is a guide on here. It isn't rocket science though.

This should help.

LOL, my bad.

Close enough, it won't be that different.

Rear pads may be a bit tricky as you need a special winding tool on the Minis to get the piston back in the caliper. The piston has 4 "holes" instead of a slot as in the Clios. But you may get away with using pliers.
