Hi all going to replace my brakes, looked on YouTube abit. From my understanding jack car up, remove wheels, undo 2 caliper bolts and remove calipers, pull old disks off, slide new ones on, use a brake splitter to spead the pistons fit new pads then re fit calipers then bingo?? Was thinking I might need to siphen some brake fluid to allow for new pads and disks?

Any help really appreciated

Tutorial here on the pads - rotors should be easy after you get that far.

Just ensure you've got the correct rotors - Repco gave me the standard Falcon/XR6 not the XR6T/Territory larger ones when I went shopping (I trusted their computer/cashier)

like raband said - also, if you can, try and get the rotor measurements before you go buy some. I ordered a set for mine from all clutch and brake. turns out the discs I had were different measurements from the regular BF ones. luckily the BA rotors were the same

Also a good idea to clean off the rust and scale off the hub face to minimise runout. Metal brush on a drill and wd40.

Also remember jack stands and wheel chocks, I'm sure u know that though.
