    Default Rear brake pads. Anyone changed them?

    Hi, just got a 70k service done on my crewy at the place i bought it cause i've got a 5 year warrenty. They said the rear pads need replacing. Has anyone done them.
    I have been told that the caliper piston doesnt turn in like earlier models and that it just pushes back in like the front ones. Is that right?
    Cheers Shane

    Yeah thats right cause the handbrake is not controlled through the caliper any more.The handbrake uses brake shoes inside a drum that is part of the brake disc which frees up the caliper to operate the service brakes only.

    finally got to do them today. They are easy to do. If you can change front pads, the rear pads are just as easy.
