94 favorit estate front disc pads removal

hiccup · 27-01-2008, 12:47

Hi there,
Just got this car with genuine 41k miles on it. Goes like a dream but the front disc pads are shot and need to change them. Can anyone tell me how to get the old ones out please. Dont want to undo any bolts that dont need to be removed.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry chaps no problem the caliper was siezed. freed it off and seems ok. Brand new pads on the front already. If it goes again I think ebay does a nice line in parts for these.
Bought the car a few days ago, its the qualitaire model with 1300 lump. Not fast but comfy.

Best pads I have found are EBC greenstuff if you are going to drive "enthusiasticaly"

Google "ricerocket" they seem to be the cheapest I could find.

Stick your foot to the floor at the lights with a ch@v in his ch@vmobile next to you, saxo, corsa, pug etc. Your car will zoom away leaving them standing

Don't break the speed limit of course

Congrats on managing to change the pads, it's a job I'll have to look forward to when my pads start wearing thin.

Hope you like the car as much as I like mine
