How easy is it to replace the rear pads?
Has anyone instructions for this?
I have searched the forum, wind back tool required ok, but how do you remove the pads?
Thank you.

Re: replacing rear pads
Remove the caliper from the caliper carrier.
To remove pads-There is an "L" section shim between the end of the pad and the caliper carrier. It is kept in place by a spring clip with circular end, bit like a hand grenade pin. Pull this pin out with pliers, then tap out the "L" shaped shim with a pin punch. Once out you can wiggle the pads free, wind back piston and re assemble it all.
Make a note of how the pads and anti rattle springs are orientated, the pads are not symmetrical (note the pegs on the back that locate in the slots in the piston)
