DIY rear brakepad replacement help

[lepablo]

Hi, looking to replace my rear pads and discs this weekend myself. Feel pretty confident and i've got a mate helping. One thing tho, my haynes manual says I'll need to replace the 'guide pin bolts'. So what I want to know is: do i need to do this, would they be supplied with the pads, or where could i get them from?

All help info and tips appreciated re this job.

Thanks

If it makes a difference it's on a 2001 TDI 130.

dont forget your caliper piston rewind tool...

most pads will come with new bolts. worst case you can reuse the old ones if you apply thread lock

as stated above make sure you have a pressure rewind tool, impossible with out one, infact was nearly impossible with one on my car.
