Does anyone know how to do this?
I have replaced the front discs and pads with no problems (£90.00 including vat and next day delivery from w www.speedways.co.uk (http://www.speedways.co.uk) w . (To put that into perspective, Toyota wanted £293.00 fitted!!)
I understand that the handbrake mechanism is attached to the rear caliper, but cannot see an 'obvious' way to push the pistons back into the calipers.
On previous cars I've owned, the piston is 'screwed' back into the caliper.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, does anyone know if a workshop manual is available in either 'paper' form or on disc ?
Thanks
markiii has a full set of BGB's - PM him and ask if he scan the relavent pages.
IIRC, you can't push the rears back in, you have to screw them.
you could also have got race pads from wiftblitz for £99, gotta fet some myself,
I paid £90 for Pads AND discs s:D :D s:D
bugger, its been a long hard day at work and i develop this inability to read, especially after the 20 cups of T i've had today s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Hiya Slynx,
Do you know if these are OEM parts or are they pattern parts? Just wondered if the quality was as good as MrTs cos that is a very good price.........
I don't want a reduction in braking performance..........
They are pattern parts (they do meet OEM specs though)
Been on 10 days now, and to be honest, although the old discs and pads were knackered, these seem to be very good. No complaints so far....
Certainly no reduction in performance, and feel really smooth.
Hmmmm......think I might give them a go then! Cheers for that!
i replaced my front discs and pads using the speedway stuff a little while ago - Dave the speedway dude is very helpful and i found the service excellent (next day del)
i havent changed my driving style and the brakes continue to amaze me - so no difference in quality in my opinion
just my 2p worth

Can anybody confirm the original request?

You can push the front ones in, the rear ones have to be screwed.
Should I be looking at dilled and grooved disks or just go for the normal ones?
