	It is pretty straightforward Toffee if you are adept at doing car mechanical jobs and you have a manual to hand. Ultimately if you are not confident, don't do it! if you are just be very thorough, make sure the contact surfaces on the caliper are clean and copperslip them when fitting the new ones. Do not contaminate the pad surface or disk, if you do clean with brake clean. Watch the brake fluid reservoir when compressing the brake cylinder back in. If the pads are worn down and the fluid level was topped right up, when you push the piston back to get the new pads in it may overflow, not a good mix with paintwork. When was the last time the brakes were bled? German Swedish, ask for the OEM pads, they are the cheapest quality ones I've found Edited by Madrab
