I assume rear brake pads are easy to change, with no special tools required?

Idealy you need a calliper wind back tool but from what I have read on the forum, you can use a long screwdriver instead. The miston in the calliper needs twisting clockwise as you push it in - you can't just push it straight back. Otherwise it all looks fairly straight forward.

Need a wind back tool for the rears from what i was told by ross and others.

windback tool is cheap, and makes the job two minutes instead of a fight

And where can I get one of these tools ?

Halfrauds and others for about £10 IIRC

Ask nicely and I'll drop one round to your place of work tomorrow

Sorry, I dont do "nicely"

Is a MKIV Golf tool the same? A colleage has one.

EDIT: BTW I sent your cable back to Jason.

Yep, Mk IV Golf is the same so use his not mine. Didn't really want ya ch avy Asda sullied hands on it anyway :haha:

Its OK - I would have worn sterile gloves when handling your tool anyway. I dont know where you've put it.

I know where my tool has been and I agree - wear gloves
