Changing Brake Pads - Advice

[JohnSimpson]

Hi all,

First post. Been lurking here for a while. Recently got myself a caterham Roadsport (rover k-series) and was wanting to change the front pads myself.

Was wondering if its a simple job and if there is anything I should be watching out for in terms of those forehead slappingly obvious things.

Any advice much appreciated for this newbie!

John.

Thanks for the note and for the advice on inserting the right way round! I have had a look and seems straight-forward. There are two bolts held in by a couple of split pins which I can remove easily and get the pads out. The part I'm not sure of is how to get the piston back. Clearly the new pads are thicker so I know I have to do this.

Mention screwdriver and forcing things in the same sentence normally ends in me breaking things!!
