Clio 1.2 mk2 Brake Greasing?

[ILikeShinyThings]

My brakes have been squealing recently so i read up on it and i found out that i need to use some copper grease on the back of the pads. So i got the wheel off and had a look but I don't really know what i'm doing so if anybody can give me any advice on how to do it? I read that i might have to take the two bolts on the inside side of the caliper but I'm not even sure what type of tool i'll need to get it off.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but I'm new to this whole thing lol


Cheers

Yea they're exactly the same. Just a little smaller.
You'll just need a decent socket set mate!

s**t... I have like screw drivers and thats about it haha got a trolley jack and some axle stands yesterday though looks like another trip to halfords lool cheers

Halfords do a small socket set thats quite good (used to be about £20 when I bought it a few years ago), think a similar one is about £25 now and it's their professional sockets and ratchet, which IMO is about as good as the Snap On stuff I used to own. Mine are still as shiny and in as good working order as when I bought it five or six years ago.

Obviously though the more you pay, the better the deal with more accesories in.

 

[ILikeShinyThings]

Yeah i'll probably end up just getting the £25 ones til i get them oney for a full chest with all the tools ill need

Halfords 150Piece for £99 when its half price is brilliant. Most things you need really.

 

[ILikeShinyThings]

Yeah that set is £150 now way too much im probably gonna get a 50 socket set and then a 12 spanner set and that should do me for a while til i can afford a proper set like the 150 one

That and a small set of spanners would be alright for now, and quite cheap?! Not got any spanners though.
Shame about the 150 piece one. Really is a lifesaver for me


Although if you hardly do any work on your car, you may as well try and borrow a friends!
I'd only invest in a socket set if you were planning on doing future work to your car.

Yeah my friends/ grandad have everything i'd need but hate relying on them for tools so i thought i'd build my own set, i just bought this today:

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_157387_langId_-1_categoryId_255215
£10 50 peice socket set

and i'm just gonna get a £13 set of spanners from B&Q when i next get the chance

although i dont do much work on my car at the moment when something needs doing and when i get my next car i'll be doing alot so its worth investing in some tools thanks for the help
