Hey I need helping changing my brake pads - i managed to get the wheel off, then i got stuck lol


how do i move the calliper so i can fit new pads - ive seen the below guide, but it looks different on my 6n2

You need to undo the 2 caliper bolts (enclosed in rubber boots) & they can be quite difficult to budge. Once you've got those out, lift off the caliper and secure it so you don't bend or stretch the brake hose. You'll then need to push in the piston to accomodate the new pads. I use a g-clamp for this.
HTH.

thanks for the reply, i'll give it a go !
