Hi, Hopefully a quick one. I shall be replacing the Front pads & discs on my car over the next few days. I looked in the maintenance section & there is'nt a "how to". Only thing I am unsure about is, do I have to remove the caliper carrier on order to remove the disc. This seems to be an omission from the Haynes manual as well. One other thing. If I do need to remove it is it advisable to heat the struts around the mounting bolts prior to removal.
Thank you, Jez

Beware, it need 18mm socket, not all older socket sets have 18mm

Indeed... :(
When I did it... I had to leave my car parked in the street all jacked-up with the bits on the pavement, and bus it to the nearest motor factors to get an 18mm socket! Luckily they were open on the Saturday :)

Why is that? even hardened socket sets often miss 18 out. All the more annoying as some other marques wheel nut sizes use 18....?
