Hello, my princes just passed her MOT as her discs were worn. I decided that I will remap her so I will upgrade her brakes with EBC grooved discs front and back with green stuff disc pads. What size tools do I need? The front is easy but what size socket do I need for the back? Will I need an impact screwdriver for the front? She is a 2014 THP. Thanks for your help.

Just did the front discs and pads, in total 4 bolts and 2 screw on either side. Took me 2 3/4 hours that included talking to neighbours as well. You will need a Torq X (star socket) 55 and 30, spanners 13, 19(the brake calliper is secured by a bolt and a nut) a torque wrench that can handle 105Nm(tx55 for the bracket), Loctite for all the bolts and a breaker bar just in case(stubborn bolts, did not need one), hammer to get the disc off and copper grease for the pads and brake piston retractor. . That is it, also axle and wheel chucks stands to be safe. Next week I will be doing the back ones. From what I have found out the rear brake pistons have to turned; you can get special tools for that. I will use needle nose mole grips for that have to work one side will be clockwise and the other anti. That is it folks, hope this will help somebody. -
yes, did my front pads and discs recently
Had 3 quotes ranging from £220 to £280
2 hrs later and mine were done for £47- price of parts
Good luck :-)
Have some brake disc spray cleaner to hand, to clean the new discs prior to fitting
Trolley jack and axle stands good too
I used a G clamp to push the piston back- undo brake reservoir lid whilst doing it, and do it slowly as not to reverse the rubber sealssigpicJog on NoddyComment
