I've just purchased a front set of Bentley Brake Pads for my 1990 Turbo R and am considering putting them on myself. Is it an easy job to do / time consuming / fiddly? I'd appreciate some advice. Thank you!

The front pads are like doing it on any other car, just that there is twice the number of them..

1. Remove front wheels.

2. Remove the copper cotter pins that retain the sliding pins.

3. Knock the sliding pins out.

4. Retract the pistons back into the caliper.

5. Remove pads.

Installation is reversal of removal. Once all pads have been replaced, fire it up and crack the bleeders open for a few seconds on each caliper (make sure to have extra mineral oil on hand), as this will prevent the brakes from "grabbing" briefly on subsequent applications.
