Ok, so i changed my pads after a very needed change, was left late as i get one day off a week and some theives stole my pads from the box in car, so had to wait another week to get it done.
Ok, Step 1:
Get car on a flat smooth surface gravel is not advised as jack could slip, undo wheel nuts slightly and jack up on relevent jacking point under car
Step 2:
Loosen and remove bolts from wheel in a criss cross formation.
Step 3:
Put removed wheel under suspension and disks for added security.
Step 4:
Next turn steering wheel so the back of the caliper is more visible
Step 5:
Loosen & remove bolt from rear of caliper (some cars you may have to loosen top one too)
Step 6:
On my pug they reccomend changing the bolt.
Step 7:
Next lift caliper being carfull not to strain the flexi hose holding the brake fluid & remove old pads (check for uneven wear or damage to pads & disk, uneven wear could be a result of a sticking piston)
Step 8:
Check new pads with old pads to make sure they are the right fit.
Step 9:
Fit the new pads into the housing becarful not to damage the pad or rub dirt on the disk.
Step 10:
Push the piston back into the calpier be carful on rare occasions this can damage the reservoir.
Step 11:
Pop caliper down screw new bolt in and put the wheel on simpels.
there is a few other things you can do like give the calipers a good scrubbing to get rid of rust also add some brake grease to the piston (carfull not to get on disk) also you can clean the disk after changing brakes to get rid of grease and dirt.
Oh and i will be changing them disks tomorrow, i know there bad couldnt be helped, ill pop up a step by step for that.
edit i accept no resposibility for any damage done to your own vehicle and this is only a basic guide
