Brake Disk & Pad replacement: Checklist

[Rawhide 0]

Well due to lack of funds I have decided to do my brake overhaul myself rather than paying a mechanic to do the job. In order to stop me being in a position of having a partly disasembled car and having to get a taxi to halfords etc I was hoping someone could talk me through the procedure and and tips for things I should be real careful about (ABS?)

 

I am pretty handy with motorcyle maintenance but have not done car brakes before..

 

..how hard can it be?

 

dreaded last words..

 

I know I need copper grease, wire brush, brake cleaner.. etc..

 

how are the brakes mounted to the hubs? Allen bolts? Do I need to soak them in WD40 overnight?

 

Cheers :wink:

Sorry, I meant that I would move it to Servicing.
