willy, you forgot the 'jack car up - safely' and 'push pistons back into caliper' step 
Davo, should be easy mate The back brakes tend to wear quite a bit slower than the front ones - just check to see that they actually need doing before you just waste your money.

You should measure the disc rotors for thickness too, and replace them with the new pads if they're getting close to the limit. |
