front discs and pads

Postby Connect-rick » Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:38 pm

ok so my discs and pads need replacing and im pretty much skint so going to a garage isnt an option as ive been quoted anywhere from £170 to £230 :cry: :shock: :roll: !!
ive priced the parts up at £88.08p from eurocarparts. is that about right?

its been about 10 years or so since i changed discs and pads myself and im confident about doing it but do any of you know what tools i'll need?
i dont want to strip it all down to find im short of a socket or allan key or something.
also do you have any time saving tips?
anything to look out for?

any info or help would be greatly appreciated

The right size allen key, and a bit of copperslip.
I bought mintex matched disc and rotors off ebay for £63 post free. 8)

I need them for Saturday so I'll see if they can get them to me on time but probably doubtful :/
Cheers for the link mate
