Changing rear brake pads

Postby Ray_S » Wed Sep 30, 2009 5:29 pm

Can anyone point me to a good detailed walkthrough on how to change the rear brake pads on a GR or even tell me how please. Any help would be very appreciated!

I take it, its the same procedure as GPX,

1) loosen handbrake tensioner(under cup holder)
2) unclip hand brake cable going into brake caliper(it's slotted into place and held stationary with circlip of sorts?)
this will allow caliper to swing once bolt is removed,
3) swing dow caliper, the only tricky bit outa of all this is unlike the front brakes you have to wind back
the caliper, snipe nose plyers or piston wind back tool, if the piston is sticky u may need wind back tool
4) fit new pads, and reassemble.

Sorry no pictures, would make it a hell of allot easy'r to explain,
It's not tough at all, as i said the only hard bit is winding back the caliper.
