cheers for reply m8...

Luck was on my side tonite and the guy I get my stuff for the car off was doin paperwork so got the pads and attempted to fit tonight!

got the inspection plate off and took the pin out the wee retainer bolt thing but the bolt itself would not budge

Spent 50 minutes trying plyers and hitting it with a hammer.. lol ...

Whilst hitting it with the etc i noticed that the piston had moved and the disc was really moving .. looked like it was only the brake caliper holding it on.. is that normal? lol

Anyway.. any ideas how to get this wee push pin thing to move?
