Fensport will supply you wil the pads, or your local Toyota Dealer can.

If you have never done the job before i would advise getting a pro to do it.

I hate changing brake pads

most DIY'ers are capable of changing them IMO

Not a difficult job as long as you dont do what i did first time i ever changed a set.........

tried to puch the piston back (after i had removed the cap of the fluid resevior, he adds quickly) with a G clamp only to find out that the piston was a screw thread and all i had to do was turn it........what a prat :!Removed!:

[Calisto]

Boro Sera is sorting them out and if he gets stuck (not that he will) lol. He knows were to get help and advice.

Spray it with PlusGas, wait half an hour, spray it again, wait overnight. The next day remove it with Mole Grips.

Or get a set of stud removers from your local Machine Mart (about a tenner), drill a hole through the centre of the bolt and extract it - easy...

Can we get back to brake pad types now :P

EBC Greenstuff rock. Used them on my bimmer to very good effect. Not as bad at dusting the wheels either. And that was with grooved and drilled discs.

I`d also recomend mintex. Especially on an auto where you tend to use the brakes more. Fade resistance is very good.

:D

Asha..

you live next to

http://www.brakesint.co.uk/enterflash.html

they do all you will ever need..

[Calisto]

LOL Indeed I do live very close to these guys and never realised they were there.

Anyway they have quoted me £24.75 inc VAT for the front pads, the make is Bendix.

any thoughts on these, are they a good make?

Thanks Ash.

[GT4 BOOSTER]

bendix advance pads are bog standard

bendix metal king plus are heavy duty long lasting pads.

bendix ultimate are for high performance cars.

i'd recommend either of the last 2 seeing as yours is an auto
