Is there a how to guide (preferably with pictures for us illiterate) on how to change the 288mm brakes to 312mm? I've seen one for the Fabia but can't even find that now apart from one link that doesn't work. Think I've got everything I need - carriers, discs, pads, splash/stone guards. Anybody think I need anything else?

This will help:

Brake pad and rotor replacement - Passat World Forums

I used it to do my front and rears.

Thanks for that - pics do make life easier:)

Which Octavia do you have Musky?

ps, link works for me..

Its a 4x4. Thanks for the link - hopefully very useful, I'll be doing the job next week assuming the rain ever stops here:mad:
