    Exclamation Changing Brake Pads

    I’m getting 2 set of Green Stuff break pads on Friday. Front a rear, just curious if i need a special tool or anything to pop the old ones out and put the new ones in. Also any tips or advice would be great.
    Thanks guys
    Nick

    use a clamp 2 push it piston back into the caliper but that about it.. other than that they just slot in.. and dont leave the caliper hanging by the brake lines..

    oh yeah and u will have 2 remove about 1/2 of the fluid from the res to prevent overflow when the piston is pushed back in.. but dont remove it all or u will have 2 bleed the brakes

    Worth bleeding the system anyway if you have the time. Especially if you're going to be throwing such high-quality pads in there...might as well have nice new fluid to go with them,.
