Installing new pads - any tips ?

[easty027]

as the title basically, I'm fitting with a friend who is a mechanic some new EBC Greenstuff pads this weekend to the z4. just wondered if it's a simple job and if there are any tips or how-to guides available.

thanks in advance !

here's a good how-to... http://m3.madrussian.net/diy_rear_brake_pads.shtml

but if your friends a mechanic then you should be fine right? :?

It is actually a job you can't do wrong. As long as you have the Hex 7 key to undo the caliper, and a glue clamp or so to push the piston in (and keep an eye on the brake fluid level), that is all there is to it.

Mind the sensor

I did this job on my previous 2.5si - as per PVR its a simple enought job.
