Disks n pads Golf 20V Turbo???

This is me first VW, bin with Fords always trying a change, how easy is it to change disks and pads on a mk4 Golf GTI 20V Turbo?? (on the front)
Is there any special tools needed to remove caliper and once caliper is removed does the disk just slide off????
Thanks MAC

 

Caliper comes off via 7mm allen.

Caliper carriers come off with 18mm socket.

Dead easy to change, you dont need a tool to push the front pistons back in, but I find it easier with one.

 

cheers, is the disk attatched or will it just whack off??

Remove disc retaining screw first.

 

... round the head then drill it out, et voila

im doing the front and back end of a mk4 this weekend.

clean up the sliders whilst its all apart too

 

Matt, you need a caliper wind back tool for the rears.

 

Well technically you don't. It can be done without if you're well practiced.
But as this is Matt, the tool is well advised!

 

i got one, but gave it to my dad eariler this week... will get it back on friday lol

i tried to put the piston back in on the back of an a4 without the proper return tool in the past, it was a lot of work hence i bought the tool

thanks for the vote of confidence seraph
