  1. Took me 2 hours yesterday, and a joy to do compared to myy old car. Tools Needed Jack and axel stands Breaker bar Wheel !Removed! (house bricks) Flat head screw driver Ratchet long ratchet extention bar 10mm deep socket 17mm socket 16mm socket 6mm alan key socket thingy Step 1 Slaken wheel nuts using 17mm socket and braker bar. Place wheel chocks at front wheels Jack car up and place axel stands where the rear side jacking points are. You can, however, do both sides independently... Step 2 When car is sucure, remove boot from around handbrake lever, just give it a tug and pull it upward towards the front of the car so its out your way. Step 3 Use 10mm deep socket withe extention bar to loosen the brake cable nuts until the cables are completely slack. Step 4 Remove wheels, place next to the discs to the rear of the car(for putting callipers on later.) Step 5 Remove callipers, there are 2 16mm hex bolts holding it on. Place on wheel next to you, dont let them hang Step 6 Remove discs, take out the 6mm bolt on the disc, give the disc a tap all round with a rubber mallet and the dics should come off easily. Step 7 Now you con see the shoes and the adjuster, circled below. On the right wheel, turn the adjuster down and towards the front to expand the shoes. Ont the left wheel, turn the adjuster up and towards the read to expand the shoes. Step 8 When its difficult to put the disc back on because to much expansion, take 5-8 clicks off the ajuster. Step 8 Put discs, calipers and wheels back on. Step 9 Pull the hand brake lever several times to seat the cable. Then pull the handbrake up 2 clicks. Tighten the cable tension ajustment nuts until its just possible to turn the rear wheels with a littke resistance. Release the handbrake and make sure the wheels turns freely. Step 10 Pull up handbrake and check wheels are locked. Put boot back on around lever. Lower car and tourqe wheel nuts up. Done :rolleyes:
