Feeling brave, front discs and pads
Discussion
I have never done this job before. The car is my Panda 100hp, will I need special tools? How to get the piston back if no special tools? If I order the pads and discs - I am going for brembo - do I need anything else - clips etc. also online I have seen a guy use thread lock on the caliper mounting bolts - do I do the same ? Copper grease on the back of the pads?
So I bought the pagid discs and pads and the accessory kit (image). Let's see how we go. I have some copper grease that says for temperatures up to 1100 degrees. I will use this for the end of the pads where they sit in the caliper and the caliper pins... Does that sound like a good plan? Let's see when they arrive.
So half way through it. Brew break. The pagid pads came with new clips and one caliper bolt for each side with thread lock on. The pagid discs are not to be cleaned as they have a coating on - as per instructions in the packaging. My extra accessories pack came with two pivot bolts, rubber bellows things and grease. Seems to be going ok.
