Have the correct tools to push the rear pistons in. Check rotor thickness
and condition. "geartwister39" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... >i have 2003 vw golf gti with 1.8 turbo 4 wheel disc brakes and i was > wondering if there is anything i need to know to do or not to do when > changing brake pads ? >

The pistons of the rear calipers must be tuned clockwise while pushing the
piston in. Sears has a universal tool to do the job. "geartwister39" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > whats up with the rear calipers they look like they have a bolt with a nut > on the other side does this require any special tools? >

Should be pretty straight forward, if you are going to do work yourself you
should pick up a bently manual, they're invaluable. "geartwister39" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... >i have 2003 vw golf gti with 1.8 turbo 4 wheel disc brakes and i was > wondering if there is anything i need to know to do or not to do when > changing brake pads ? >
