how to change pads on a ve hsv ap caliper?
Hi there just bought ve senator 09 update and was wondering if anyone has changed front and rear pads on the AP 4 pot Calipers? Just don't want to learn on the job.

aleast once or twice a week ? whats your questions
sorry mate, Just want to know how to remove pins that run through the pads, or do I need to split the caliper in half?
never seen them up close but I doubt you need to pull the callipers apart !??!

use a small pin punch and drive the pins out from the outside to the inside of the caliper , next is to push the pistons back number of ways to do this using a flat blade screw to lever back one pad at time fitting new pad once one side is done new repeat for other side of caliper, undoing the caliper or splitting in half is not required to replace the pads and only required if overhaulling the caliper , undoing the bleeder will make piston push back much easier use a rubber hose from bleeder to a bottle to collect spent brake fluid , once all pads are replaced bled the brakes thru starting on the inside bleeder working to the outside bleeder . hope this answer your questions

Just need to push the pins out with a punch or small screw driver then use the old pad and screw driver to lever/push the pistons in.
