i couldnt find this topic this morning so i'll ask it again, sorry.

what special tools are needed ? to change the rear discs and pads on a 2000/v reg ? i'm getting the bits tommorrow so if ineed a special tool i'll get one as well.

Not so much special tools.. dont forget you need to wind the piston back using the allen bolt hidden behind the 14mm(i think) bolt on the back of each caliper.

dont forget to re-place the W-springs if you still have them.

Its also worth giving the calipers a quick wire-brush around the handbrake lever and re-greasing the slides.

It's worth checking the condition of the slides as they're often a weak point on the brakes, and can be a pain to get hold of.
