Brakes...pads and fluid change

[CaptainSlow]

I'm doing this job on my mk1 tomorrow. I've read all the guides...any other tips?

make sure the spanner fits well so that you don't round off the brake bleed nipple!! also, iirc it's a different size front to rear

3 of mine were 8mm, 1 of mine was 7mm.... probably a unique situation mind...

Get some penatrating fluid onto the bleed nipple threads today, and some more tomorrow before you bleed.
