Fitting DS2500 pads front and rear from AS Performance are there any SPECIAL TOOLS i'll need cos I intend to fit them myself. CHEERS

I think a couple of spanners and a G clamp to push the pistons back is all you need. The rear pistons may screw in, not push (could be wrong).

You don;t need any clamp at-all... crude as it may sound, i use a flat balde screwdriver and the old knackered pad to push the pistons back, ie, do literally one pad at a time......

Very true. I did always use this method, but did struggle a couple of times (usually with old cars with seized pistons). In these cases, a clamp greatly reduced the amount of swearing!:)

P.S. Thanks for the correction, Alyn. I'm remember that when the time comes to do mine.
