im doing my pads and discs on the weekend just wanted a little advice on what to be careful of and on the discs do you need a special tool any help appriciated cheers
 
If you're doing your rears then you could do with the tool to wind the pistons back in the caliper. You can do it without but its a right faff.

Machine mart sell them.

yeh im doing the back pads as well which are very low and i have a g-clamp for the piston

The pistons are threaded so its not just a case of pushing them back in, they need winding in mate. (A3 ones do anyway)
 
You will need the wind back tool makes life so easy, and possibly a impact driver (thinks thats the name havn`t woken up yet ) to undo the disc holding screw. It may come undone without but its easyier if you have one tbh.
 
can i get the wind back tool from halfords thanks for the advice peeps
 
my friend was saying you can use snub nose pliers is this true because i just want a trouble free job lol
