|  Rear brakes Hi there, new member here and I'd be grateful for any help given I need to change the rear pads and discs on my 1.9 Tdi and can't seem to get the pistons back into thier calipers. Is there a special method to doing this? Thanks in advance Graham |

| Re: Rear brakes Laser's part number is 1314. Check that the packet includes the black U-shaped metal "shield" piece - the first one I bought didn't  Halfords also sell a very useful impact driver for £15 or so. Here's a list of things I got ready when I did my Octavia brakes last year. http://briskoda.net/forums/octavia-i...ecklist/94579/ HF

| Re: Rear brakes Gosh! how many miles have you done? I dont think that I have ever had to change the rear pads on any car that I have ever owned and certainly have never had to change the disks and I have had cars where I have put over 100k miles on them. |

| Re: Rear brakes It's used as a delivery van! Got a good few miles on it and the inside pad was down to the metal and scored the disc. Unusual I know but it's not been the most reliable vehicle so far |

| Re: Rear brakes Done 23k in mine and it's not missed a beat. You usually end up replacing the rear brake discs/pads through corosion rather than wear as they don't do a lot. |
