Whilst doing the tie rod guide i decided to replace the disks so copied the threads from Steve Crisp and Ricky2772 in to a word document for printing. As quite a few people are asking about upgrading i thought i post them I've converted them into PDF so their easy to view and print, plus the front brake one ended up about 10MB thanks to all the pictures I've also added a bit about removing the disks. Although i have been lazy and just copied the front disk bit for the rears. The front (new link to replace the one below)  Front_Brake_Pad_and_Disk_Replacement.pdf   308.23KB   1294 downloads

nice, i'm just about to replace my pads, will come in handy! (dont suppose anyones got a guide for replacing the left/right engine dampers ?!)

[P444UL_R]

spot on

Quality guide mate. Done the pads before (although I took the caliper off - now I know the easier way!). I've got 4 discs and pads at home waiting to be fitted - I've been tentative to go and actually do it as I didn't know if I had all the right tools and I'd end up making several trips to Halfrauds. Sorted now, just got to wait for a day that the temp rises above 0 degrees.

Thanks Johny forgot to look there

[RWinstanley]

Dave If you mean a torque for reattaching the calipers then I couldn't find one on the TIS. I did mine up to just over 45 Nm which felt tight enough.

Good PDF's I fitted new pads not too long ago. But will come in useful when doing the disks.

I posted them (from tis) - look up

[RWinstanley]

That's the page refering to the replacement of the pads, there is another page that deals with removing the caliper, clicky, but both only give torques for the wheel bolts.

Bit of a ressurection I know but I really could do with this PDF... trouble is Adobe reader has a fit when it tries to open this... anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem when I did not save the pdf to the disk, then double click load it.
