hi guys ive just brought some new front brake pads for my twin turbo z.is there a guide on here on how to do it yourself?ive looked and cant find!cheers:duffer:

TBH it's not hard, if you take off the wheel and have a go you'll see, just remember to undo the bleed nipple before pushing back the pistons or you risk blowing the seal in the brake booster...

 

did all 4 corners including the disks in about 4 hours.... so about an hour a corner for disk and pads....

glad i asked now because i wouldnt of done that!!it looks easy enough looks like you just have to pull out the two pins with the flat heads?cheers mate

yeah pretty much... lol i'ts an easy job tbh..... might wanna think about changing the fluid in the lines too. you have the nipple open might as well bleed it all through and replace the fluid..........

good good im going to do it xmas eve so it doesnt want to take to long!!yeah good thinking the brake son mine need all the help they can get as they do struggle a little lol

have you thought about smithys upgrade kit... front and rear disks and pads for about £490. cross drilled and groved and upgraded pads.... i did mine, I still need to flush through the lines with new fluid TBH

ive changed the pads about 3 times and disks once and never fooked about with no nipple, defo good advice im sure but if your lazy like me then you dont have too.

i`ve changed mine 3 times and i to haven`t undun the nipple .

Can't you just take the top off the resevoir ?

also it a piece of piss, take the wire out of the back of the caliper keeping the pins in, remove the pins, push back the pistons with a flat head screwdriver, remove old pads, insert new pads, put pins back in, put wire back in, pump brakes, make them new pads smoke, SMILE!!!!

cheers for the help guys cant wait to have half decent brakes again!

Are the rear pads for the NA and TT the same?
