Hello all, I'm going to change my brake pads tomorrow, just wondered if anyone has any tips or advice, since my shop manual has not arrived yet I'm pretty much going to be winging it, not that brake pads are that diff. anyway.

Have a big c clamp and a big file ready. You'll use the c clamp to push the piston back into the front calipers to get them back in place. You'll use the big file as a huge flathead screwdriver to screw the rears into place. Make sure the notch on the rear pads goes into the slot on the rear caliper... it will not apply even pressure if the bump is in the wrong place.

Other than that, just remember not to even think about touching the break pedal while the calipers are off.... BAAAM!!!
