Rear Brake Pads, Walkthrough

[Saraj]

Hi,

is there any walkthrough out there with pictures, for fitting rear brake pads?

I've searched all over including google (alot of links appear for this site) but no luck with one with images !

Please help

thanks

Check in the clubs knowledge base..... I'm sure it's in there.

I found this but there aren't any pics.

That guide is fine. Once you've got the wheel off and are looking at the brakes it should make sense.

Hi.

I'm also after some advice/pictures. I replaced the pins on the rears, but there are anti-squeal clips and spring clips (some of which were not there!!!) which I've replaced. But I'm not satisfied that they are installed correctly.

Can anyone show/advise how they are supposed to sit? All help is appreciated, as I'm off on a long road trip to France on 19th, and the last thing I want is for the rears to fall apart on the French motorways!!! :)

Cheers in advance.

When you are replacing the rear pads do you need to wind the pistons back and then adjust them once everything is back in place?

Thanks

no they push back in just as the fronts do. After replacing the brake pads ALWAYS pump the brake pedal until normal feeling is returned.

Nope. I assume you are thinking the handbrake uses the pads. The discs have a drum in the middle with standard brake shoes for the handbrake, so you only need to mess with adjustments if you are changing the discs and/or handbrake shoes.
