    If its rear pads, you'll probably need a tool to wind in the caliper pistons. You'll need to slacken off the handbrake adjuster as well.

    Conor thanks for your reply.

    what tool do i need ? :confused: can i buy or hire ?

    is this an easy procedure to carry out ? or would it be easier( cost effective) to get done at the garage.

    Either buy or hire. Easy procedure to do. May be better to pay for it doing depending on the cost of the tool.
