Brake Pads

[GarminDave]

Hi Guys,

I've done a search but can't find a step by step guide to changing front and rear brake pads, also if someone has a recommendation for the best pads.

I would normally get my dealer to do this at a service but last time they did it the pads were two pence under £100.  The part number was T2022395 Brake Pad Set, x4Pads and two sets at £49.99.

I changed my own tyres last time using guidance given here so my next step on my learning is to do the pads.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

It's pretty straightforward actually.  I can email you a pdf?

Dave,
I forgot to mention, on page 24, under Rear Brake Pads - Removal, second column, The illustration incorrectly identifies the Pad Retaining Pins and the Caliper Mounting Bolts.  The numbers are reversed.  Number 1 should be the mounting bolts and Number 2 points to the retaining pins.

Might save a bit of head scratching. 

I think we have a forum section for service manual errors like this?
