Slacken wheel nuts with car on ground
Jack Car up and Remove Wheel
Remove Caliper (2 x 14mm hexhead screws, on backside of disc guard)
Remove pads from caliper, and recover anti squeal plates
Remove cap fron brake fluid reservoir.
Push piston back as far as possible (use something soft like a wooden cooking utensil), ensuring that the brake fluid reservoir doesn't overflow, ie remove fluid if required.
Cover the non friction sides of the pads and both sides of the anti squeal plates with copper grease, and fit squeal plates to pads.
Fit pads to caliper, if fitted with a wear indicator (metal prong) this pad goes against the piston.
Refit caliper
Refit wheel and tighten
Lower car
Torque wheel nuts
Check brake fluid level and refit cap.
Road test.
Email me if you have any probs.
Cheers
Garry
