Daihatsu Cuore front brakes - Ian J
I want to replace the front pads on a Daihatsu cuore 1999 year.
I have replaced pads on other makes before but never on a Daihatsu. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have 2 problems; one there are 4 bolts at back of caliper two on rubber mounts the problem is which two to remove to remove caliper. The second problem is that the pads also run on guide pins and there is no obvious access at the back to tap them out.
Assuming I get caliper off what torque should bolts be retorqued to.
Many thanks in advance
Ian

Job done guide pins are held by a spring system and once removed they come out. Not strictly necessary to remove caliper but it can be pivoted to help push back piston.
