MK3 BRAKE PAD CHANGE

I take the wheel off and undoo the two clips the pads should slide out .. ??

Do i open the brake fluid resevoir to release pressure ??

Do i take the whole caliper off ??

Whats the easiest way to do so .. Normally do with my Dad but he is on holls ..

DOnt want to wait and end up buying disks aswell ..

the caliper has to come off. undo the two allen head bolts inside the rubber boots.

It's a good idea to open the fluid tank when you are pushing the piston back so the caliper will fit over the thicker new pads.

Thankyou ...

Will be glad to stop this metal on metal noise .. lol .. It started yesterday

hmm, if your discs are fucked and scored then it'd be a good idea to replace them at the same time as the pads. will save money in the long run.
