Not sure I follow you regarding what you want to do with the disc?

But the pad change is pretty much straight forward and you follow the same procedure as most other cars. Nice thing on ours is that unlike a lot of modern cars you don't need any special tools to push the piston back.

If you get really stuck or are worried about doing it yourself, I may be able to lend a hand but you would have to bring your motor to mine.

If you're removing the rear disc you'll more than likely need to move in the shoes using the handbrake adjuster. :)

You don't need to worry too much about payment mate. If you need a hand let me know. But was a little confused from your first post as to what you want to do with the discs?

yea i think i see what you mean now,

what i meant to say was, once the calliper is off i can just pull the old disc off and slid the new one on. :)

it will be awhile ive had to send the parts back to ENVY they sent me Fronts when i need rears.
