How to front and rear brake pads removal.


Just thought I'd put this up as we don't have one yet.

Jack up and remove wheel from the car to gain access to brake.

Next take out the guide bolt from the bottom 10mm

Having a tidy of the garage as it needs it as I need the work bench again now it's getting summer time.

But pushed the car back so the wife could tidy her garden cupboard, and it sounds like the brakes are still on on the rear, I double checked and the hand brake is fully off, also I notice I can see where the brake has been on as it there is a clear mark left on the brake disc.

Would people suggest what colour to paint my calipers, I've had green on for a while now and have got bored.
Really stuck what colour to choose.
Cheers

I'm coming up to my second year service which if I'm right means the brake & clutch fluid need to be changed.

I know the dealerships don't do it but I have my service done elsewhere (as I don't trust the dealer) so to get my lifetime warranty reactivated would I really need to change the brake fluid?

Or should I just buy a bottle of it and get my mechanic to tick it as done.

Hi guys. Me and my neighbour recently changed my front pads. I didn't buy vx ones but just normal one from local motor factors.
All we changed was the pads and applied copper grease to the back.
I'm getting a horrible vibrating type of feeling under my foot when braking at low speed.
I've read on here about shimmed pads? Looked on the net and are the shims the metal clips which are at the top and bottom of the caliper?
If they are, could it be that the new pads don't fit these aswell as vx ones

Where did you get your vauxhall brake stickers from, u got a link?

I have a 2010 Astra SRI and the brake assist (BAS) has just starrted showing a warning

I haent found much information from googling.

Im hoping its a simple thing like the sensor on the brake servo[ATTACH=CONFIG]220[/ATTACH]

Any advice?

I have been noticing really bad brake dust all over my alloy wheels since purchasing my car and it looks horrendous not even a day after I clean my car.

I've been looking into replacing the brake pads with the EBC YellowStuff Pads:-
