new discs and pads : the fitting!!

[Tom]

Well im a tw*t

never attempt this if you dont have the tools to do it

well at least one side is done!!

getting the piston back far enough so i could fit the new pads was a nightmare!! gonna start again tomorrow.

DIY guide comming soon clio 2 owners!!

that means everyone except cup/172 owners

 

[paddymph]

i did mine today! that piston is a swine

 

[telford_mike]

A guide would be great - Ive never had the bottle to mess about with my brakes. I read on another thread that theres a device called a plumbing plier to push the piston back with.

getting the piston back is well easy, just use a G clamp!!!! or sort of lever it back with a screwdriver if you get my drift!

 

[Tom]

use a g clamp its a simlar thing

sh*t you just wrote that arse!!

 

[paddymph]
