Any advice?
#2
Piece of piss. 

Tools - Whatever allen keys/ hex bolts / socket set / copperslip / rag / bar or prybar or hammer handle (to manoeuvre pistons) / plasters / whisky (medicinal) / beer / cigar 


Disk bolts off/ bolts on.  

Brakes - Undo what is necessary to take pads out of caliper. Clean caliper. Make sure the pistons are well back if they are protruding so you can put the new pads (which will be meatier) in their place. Copperslip or similar on the back of the pads so they will release in the future. Re-assemble (remembering anti vibration spring if there is one). 

Oh, and don't be tempted to squeeze the brake lever whilst the pads are out. 


If all else fails have your trusty hammer to hand to fix it real good.  Big Grin


Don't worry - If you feck it up brakes are over rated anyway.  Tongue
