Hello,

Has anyone replaced the rear discs and pads themselves?

I've read all the info on it and it seems a straight forward job but no one ever mentions the wear indicator wire??

Does anyone know if the wear indicator wire on the back off-side brake will be an integral part of my car or of the brake pad?

I hope I’m explaining this properly, what I mean is where do you separate the wear indicator wire from the pad when replacing them?

Thanks for the help

Andrew

The wear indicator slots into the pad but it also has a connector further up the wire;)

Its easy,but if the pads are worn there is a chance that the indicator may need replaced too;)
