Changing rear brake discs
#4
Thanks guys. Rusty, IIRC it was you who previously mentioned the pistons have to be rotated clockwise.

Gary13 has just also confirmed that, so that's good enough for me.

I was going to change them today, but it's just been too hot to be doing jobs like that. I haven't heard the audible warning yet, so hopefully there are a few miles left on the pads - touches wood.

Last 2 services and MOTs the garage have commented about the rear pads and discs need changing soon. Probably working on the assumption I drive 20,000 miles a year. Which I don't. Or they just want money for work that isn't necessary just yet.
