Have got warped discs on the front of my cerb and have decided to replace them myself on Monday, so anything difficult to do or just the same as most other vehicles? When I need to take the pads out do the pistons have to be wound back in or just pushed with a prybar or something?

very easy same as any car realy. pistons are push back not wind back.id be carefull with a pry bar though, would get a proper piston push back tool as you dont want to damage the pistons/calipers. there cheap and avalable at most tool shops.

Thanks yella, think the piston/caliper tool I bought a while back will push the pistons back or wind back (whichever is needed). Did all 4 discs on my 200sx recently and very quckly realised the pistons had to be wound back and didnt want to make a mistake with the cerb ones!
