I've never worked on any brake systems in my life, but as my front brake pads needed doing on my 986 and I was concerned some grease monkey would mark my newly refurbed alloys if I took it to a garage, I thought I'd give it a go. What could possibly go wrong? :roll:

I found this superb guide on t'internet and it went like a dream.

Total cost including pads and retaining pin kit was around £100 and the wheels are still perfect. :thumbright:

Depends on the car, the Jag has an electronic handbrake so not easy.

But yes generally dead easy.
