'93 Rover 214 front brake pads - normd2
my front brake pads need changed now if not sooner:) Anyone experience of these? I've done plenty of the old Ford type with pins that need drifted out and Toyota ones that you undo a bolt and half the caliper swings up out the way but these look a bit different again. I've not got a workshop manual for this car (yet) so would appreciate some pointers or even a link to somewhere that shows it.

thanks in advance

'93 Rover 214 front brake pads - piston power
I had one of these im sure it's similar to the toyota & most other cars 2x bolts remove the caliper the pads sit in the carrier,
A good tip for the piston is to undo the bleed nipple to expell brake fluid & any moisture sitting at the piston when you push it back... good luck..

thanks for this - if the rain stays off I'll have a go - if it is like the toyota ( 'course it is a jap car under that badge) then I know what I'm doing.
