Much more fiddly. You'll need a flat edged bar or screwdriver to wind in the piston - it doesn't just push in like the front (It's to reset the unit for the handbrake) Note the groove in the piston face where the pin on the back of one of the pads fits. Also fit them the right way round.  There is a proper wind-back tool, but I doubt anyone uses it. . You'll also want a small hammer and screwdriver to tap the L-section locking bar in/out. Don't lose the little hairpin clip. I'd also suggest, before you start getting caught up in grease, anti-squeak springs and blood, take a good quality pic of the way it was before you started. If you don't get that locking bar right , the pads will just fall on the floor. Well they'll actually eject themselves quite forcibly once you tread on the pedal at 40mph - then they'll fall on the floor. |

and you'll spend a good 20 minutes searching the last half mile you drove, before giving up and limping home with your calipers scraping some nice grooves in those shiny new discs you just fitted |

if you can get discs AND pads for £40 go for it, i doubt you'll get them much cheaper than that  |

£29.01 inc. VAT, with the free delivery option. About the same or perhaps a tad more if you visit the store to buy.
