Need to renew the rear discs and pads on my classic Impreza. How easy is this please ? Any tricks of the trade prior to starting.

Hi
Changing the rear discs and pads is a very straight forward job, nothing scary at all. Release the handbrake, wind the adjuster for the handbrake off enough for the disc to be removed(hole in back of hub plate, use a screw driver to click it round) then Just remove the pads, undo caliper and remove(support it out of the way.eg. tie wrap to strut), change disc, replace caliper and put new pads in. Then adjust the handbrake up again. I think the nuts on the caliper were 14mm.
Hope this helps.
