Just wandering how big a job it is really. Mine need doing on my car and I have the new discs and pads ready to go on. I'm pretty sure it's Straight forward? I've done it on bikes before so same principle really. Do I need to bleed the brakes?

Cheers mate. Just also a bit precautious if there is any common problems one comes across where I might need special tools. I have general tools spanners socket set. Axle stand Jack etc.

8mm or 10mm hex bit and 17mm spanner or t40 torx bit iirc. Not a difficult job. Spray some wd40 on the bolts if they are difficult to loosen. Can of brake cleaner can be useful

It's a 7mm allen bolt on the sliders and a 10mm on the carrier bolts.
