Fitting rear pads on 172

[® Andy]

Pads: Are they 172 specific? Couple of places Ive rung havent had anything specifically for 172, so wondering if pads are common across ABS/rear disc MkII Clios. Expect not?

Fitting: Is it an easy job? Any gotchas? Or is it a simple case of taking wheel off; removing a bolt from the caliper; removing wire clip; sliding caliper up / off; pads with some copper grease on the back; pushing the cylinder back in; squeezing pads in; clip + bolt back on?

Trying to decide whether I want to get cold and dirty this weekend, or be profligate, lazy but warm

the pads are held in by a slide which you remove a clip and then tap out the slide to release the pads.the caliper pistons wind back in.the pads are shaped and fit in a specific way.take note of their position so you fit the new pads the same.dead easy and youll be able to see what to do just by having a look mate.
