Hi there,
No disrespect but if your not 100% sure how to replace your brakes I'd strongly advise investing in a professional to fit them.

Theres no need to go to the expence of a dealer as a good independent garage can fit them.

Chris

That is good advice. As Palindrome says there is no need to have your dealer change them, but best to get someone who knows what they are doing to replace them.

Morning guys.Well my old man was a fitter its just to get the griff on what sort of a job it is really as its a new car to be honest.I appreciate your concern especially when it comes to Brakes lol.I have the pad and it seems that they clip? do we need any special tool (allen Key etc) to change?

Justgot2run,

Did you get my PM?

You will need some special grease, a calliper separation tool (some people bodge it with a C clamp or similar) and some cleaning spray.

It's an easy job if you've done it a few times before, but given that it's safety critical I'd suggest that you learn in the hands of someone else who knows what they are doing.
