Replacing Rear Pads On 2004 Corolla Verso

[BusDriver]

Hi,

I have a set of pads to replace the ones on SWMBO's Verso. Before I start - can anyone confirm...

- What tool is required to remove/undo the caliper pins? 7mm allen key is common?

- Are new guide pins required when refitting? They are on my own car (octavia mk1)

- Any other "gotchas" I need to be aware of before starting? (i have a wind back tool)

Thanks,

Martin

Don't know the specifics of how the verso calipers work but when I replace pads & need to move the pistons back I always attach a bleed hose & open the bleed nipple to let the fluid out there rather than pushing it back through & up into the reservoir (and risk that overflowing)
