As long as you got a few basic tools its very easy.

Just remove calipers then unbolt the carrier and slide discs off :wink:

Get a haynes manual. You have to use alot of copper grease to stop the pads from squeeking, but dont get it on the disks ( i know someone who actualy did this!)

How the hell you manage that? I thought the use of too little copper grease is the cause of the squking, so none at all would be horendus. I was wrong then, but still sujest using it!
