Brake, steering and suspension repairs shouldn't be attempted by ANYONE who has had no prior experience with these things, and especially not by themselves. Unless you have a trained pro to directly supervise you, leave them alone. Even an in theory simple operation like doing brake pads is full of pitfalls for the uninitiated.If you cock something up is Mr Youtube going to take responsibility for what happened! I think not.

Second sentence was-Personally If I had never changed pads before I would have a competant mechanic supervise. Mate I don't make my living on the tools so have not a chance of that advice financially benefitting me. I could without being by your car step by step you through changing your pads.I'm not going to because I honestly feel its something that being shown how to do the job right THIS TIME would be of huge benifit to you. Where in wellytown are you!

Give it a go mate. Grab a workshop manual if you don't own one.
I've done it on a 42 year old car and I'm still alive :D

I'll say again, if you haven't got someone properly trained to supervise you then don't touch them.

I can't comment on that as I don't know the OP. I've ridden my mates motorcycles where they do all the maintenance and they get in my car where I do mine (Granted somethings I do get my mechanic to do as I don't have the 'special' tools etc)

THANK YOU pebbles. That is EXACTLYmy point and the point I repeat when it comes to the safety equipment of a car. You (and all the other posters here) DON'T know the OP. Im not having a go at you but advice offered needs to reflect that fact.
