2012 Front pads

[sockets]

Hi there,
Anyone changed their front pads yet?
Looks simple enough!
Got some EBC ones?
Cheers.

Shouldn't be any harder than any other make. Looks like remove caliper, pull the two pins and spring clips and pads should be free.

Remove caliper ?? Surely not.........Dont on my '10, just pins springs and pads?

That's me being anal Keith. I like to get the wife's tooth brush in there to clean up the pistons etc ;D

Thanks,
It does look like you can just pull the pins and slide the new ones in.
Just wondered if anyone had actually performed the task!
Bit of copper slip and jobs a goodun I reckon.

I'm going to have to do them soon as they are getting low. I could wait till the next service and if I'm lucky they might scrape the old grease off the pads and smear it on me disks.

I take the calipers off to change the pads so I can push the pistons back with my hands and inspect them.
