Go you!

I used the pics, failed and got a mechanic mate to do the rest.
All that he did that I didn't do was hammer fuck out of those screws with an impact driver (when removing the discs), me tried to do it with an electricians screwdriver

awesome how-to.. :salut:

[Type R me]

didnt know it was such a piss easy job!!!!

ive very done brakes b4 in my life and it lit took me 25 mins per side :thumbup:

wicked mate thank you

[gregdogg0_0]

used this guide last night and i must say it was a piece of p1ss :salut:

i noticed on the back-side set of pads there was 2sets of metal shims, 1 set on the front side...i only re-fitted the shim that was the same as the frontside one.. is this correct? i could see no reason for there to be 2 of them.. ideas anyone?

*Edit - Ive just re-Read the instructions and it does mention there are 2 shims... my first questions still applies though, does it matter only having 1 shim? if so ill put it back on >.<

[Type R me]

yep sure does mate (if its in the pack then it means you need to use them,otherwise they wouldnt put in it the pack :thumbup: )

one goes on first then the next one on top :thumbup: then back in the cali

i didnt get any shims with my new brake pads (ferodo ds2500) ive put the two original ones back on now anyhow..

[ben2012]
