Brakes on a Corsa 1.2
9 Answers
Is it easy to change the brake discs and pads? Are any special tools needed to do this? My son in law has offered to change them for me and I don't own a manual. As he is 30 miles away, I don't want to get there and find I needed some extra tools. Many thanks for any help.

Torx & torque - not the same thing by a long way

be very careful pushing back the piston because depending on age of car there is a tendency to invert the master cylinder seals, the correct procedure is to pinch the flexi and open the bleed screw and slowly push the piston back, do one wheel at a time and pump the brake pedal before doing the other wheel.
