Re: Brake pad install questions

[Barry Hodgetts <arkendale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you remove the two chrome tubes that the callipers slides on, fit the
new pads then reassemble. You will need 7mm hex to undo them. I normally
slack them off before removing the 17 or 19mm bolt holding the callipers
onto the car.
