    Hi there

    I have a 2007 Mini Cooper, R56. How easy is it to fit new front brake pads. Do you need any specialist tools.

    Thanks

    No specialist tools needed if you have a decent socket set all ready.
    Only bit thats even slightly tricky is undoing the wear sensor wire up behind the arch liner but if you undo the liner a bit then it gives you more room to get your hand in.
