Thamas Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi everyone. I just bought a car, Ford Fiesta 2004. I know it’s a quite old car, however I’m a student and it’s a perfect first car for me 😂. I know as well that I can find a lots of videos online how to change pads etc, but I need to know how really difficult is to do it myself. Did anyone of you done this before? How difficult it to do it and what tools I need? Appreciate any advice. Translate Revert translation?

Paulx5 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 As you can see I’m a lorry driver and done few changes in my life. For me probably an hour if everything goes to the plan, for you probably 2 hrs max. It’s very easy and cost effective as you saving an fortune on label. So what you need are: break pads spanners( common sizes, 10,13,17) hammer Car jack pliers and maybe a length of wood to retract the pistons Normally it’s only one or two bolts and job done. You’ll be alright. Translate Revert translation?

Micky51 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I saw my dad, basically helped him and it’s took us around an hour. Plus he cleaned all the pistons etc. After that I could do it my self probably so I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine. Good luck. Translate Revert translation?
