Hi,

The brakes are pretty conventional on the front and on the rear if they are like the LS with separate drums for the handbrake/parking brake so just follow normal pad replacement procedures, be aware of the wear sensors and don't damage them during the replacement.

When pushing the pistons back to accommodate the new pads release the bleed nipple on the caliper to prevent the back flow of fluid which could cause damage to the seals elsewhere in the braking system.

No special tools are required.

Thanks for the offer , I fitted the pads this morning only a 15 min job.. just wanted to make sure there were no electric pumps on the brake systwem . As the missus has SL500 Merc and if you push the pistons back in the calipers to fit new pads it ruins the electric pump and you end uop with a £1000 bill :shutit:
