Hi all, going to change my daughters rear brake pads later, is it a simple job, are the any how2s, or is it going to be a garage job :roll:

It's usually a fairly simple job.
Not sure if you will need a re-wind tool for the rear caliper pistons or they just push in. But you can usually makeshift one yourself.
You may need to adjust the hand break once you've changed the pads.
Hardest part really is if anything is seized up.
I would have plenty of brake cleaner, WD40 and a few old cloths to hand to clean everything up.

They have whats called an Audio wear indicator,there's a piece of metal built into the friction material so that when it wears to a certain thickness it makes contact with the disc to give a loud Audio noise..
Ignore it and i guess you wear a groove in your disc....
