Title: Changing rear brake pads
Post by: RichB on 13 February 2009, 09:03:19

Hi guys I am going to change my rear pads today.  I have got new pads, pins and retaining clip things from Vauxhall.  Hopefully they are the right ones as there were two listed for vented and non vented.  I got the non vented ones.

Anyway are the rear pads as easy to do as the fronts or is there anything extra I will have to do?


Cheers,

Richard

Cheers Mark looked through but didn't think to check the rear brake servicing guide  ::)

Any chance of you having a look at that coolant leak?  I dropped you a couple of PM's.  If your busy then no worries I will keep topping it up for a while longer.


Cheers,

Richard

I hope I have got the right ones.  I got the ones for solid disks, is this right for a 97 3.0 elite?

All the preface lift cars have solid discs at the back, vented are fitted to some later facelift cars.
