I'm closer (Canberra) and more than willing to help if you're willing to travel. I have the right tools to do both jobs.

LOL it takes all of 5 mins to change the pads on the rear of a S1 AU..
Jack rear off ground Removed rear tyre Undo top calliper bolt and pull in a clockwise motion (You dont need to remove the whole calliper, undo top bolt and move it like a hinge) Pull out old pads Put in new pads Close calliper and put bolt back in Put wheel on Lower car and go bed them in. |

^ And if the new pads wont go over the rotor, you need to use a f or g clamp to compress the piston back in...

I'd help you if you wanted Simon!
You are on the other side of town though, so the Eastern connections should be explored first. If that fails, I'll make some time to help you out! GK

Hey simon, if you still stuck by saturday arvo with the brake pads, i'm gonna be near your side of town(rowville) i might be able to lend a hand.
HOWEVER changing brake pads is by far one of the easiest task to do to a car(usually), you should be able to do them your self. Cheers

Ok, i've been quoted $40 for one 2nd hand rotor from FTG Autosalvage and $40 for a pair of brake pads from Autobahn!
What we think? Can we do any better? Cheers Simon |

If you're going to replace one, you might as well do the other.

yup, i can do you one better...
You can do what i did on my go-cart (Home made with disc brakes) Machine the rotors on yourt handy home lathe (We all have those ). Get the old pads and a grinder, grind off all of the brake material, get some shoe heel rubber, cut to fit shape of brake pad metal. groove the rubber into the metal, glue it in (tarzan's grip)... Total of about 6 bucks Somebody stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dodgy as, BUT it worked well! :P |
