Hi going to change my Rear Brake Pads what toold oto i need and best way to do them.

[R0162]

it is a very easy job and takes about 5 minutes, no special tools required, mole grips, small hammer and a punch.
Knock out the pins, take off the spring, pull out the pads, push back pistons and put new pads in with anti squeal pads, put pins back in with spring, arrow on spring must follow wheel rotation, check brake fluid level and job done.

Got to admit, I nearly fell over when I did mine, most jobs on the nob are a pig but it was sooooo easy

What are your `anti-squeal pads` like - my car only has the pads up against the calliper pistons, (and I don`t have any squeal problems)?

Depends on what brake pads you buy, some come with them already attached to the pads but others like EBC you have to cut them to shape and fix yourself, they just stick to the back of the pads.
