HI MICHAEL,

PADS FOR YOUR CAR ARE AVAILABLE FROM MOST MOTOR FACTORS OR CAR SUPERSTORE OFF THE SHELF

IT IS AN EASY JOB TO DO EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE

YOU WILL NEED A 7MM ALLEN KEY,FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER AND A BIG GRIPS (TO PUSH THE CALIPER PISTON IN)

REMOVE THE TWO 7MM ALLEN KEY BOLTS FROM THE BACK OF THE CALIPER AND REMOVE THE BIG SPRING CLIP AT THE FRONT,CALIPER WILL NOW COME AWAY FROM THE PADS,REPLACE PADS AND SQUEEZE THE CALIPER PISTON BACK IN WITH THE GRIPS,DO THIS SLOWLY AND REMOVE THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR CAP FIRST.

PLACE THE CALIPER BACK INTO POSITION AND LOCATE THE SPRING CLIP AND BOLTS AT THE REAR,TIGHTEN BOLTS AND YOUR DONE!

MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO APPLY SOME COPPER GREASE TO THE REAR OF THE PAD WHEN YOUR REPLACING THEM

(STOPS THEM SQUEALING!!)

HOPE THIS HELPS
