Very easy task, for sure do it yourself.
You can get pads from the like of euro Car parts just make sure you get a good discount code first! Brembo are a good reliable brand, most people seem to recommend mintex. £75 sounds about right for all pads. My 90 Project : http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic52774.html |

As with Eddie. Work well, never rattle or screech big
for EBC pads...
Which reminds me I should order a fresh set as I am 1/2 way through these. I would recommend you buy this http://www.drbcarspares.co.uk/draper-brake...2699-p.asp as it will make the job much easier and reduce the risk of damaging the piston seals. Also take your time cleaning the crud off from the pistons before you retract them. |

Not that impressed with the green stuff, especially for the extra£££ create alot of dust, and no noticable benefit, even when towing. Pagid in the rears (euro carparts)
but I have just reverted back to mintex up front |

Ang-a-nang-on...
Yes, very easy, buuut one thing to check: If your pads are very worn then they would have been operating for a long time with the pistons exposed to the elements. When installing new pads you'll have to force the pistons back for them to fit (g-clamp and appropriate flat bar), thereby forcing crud in to the piston seals. This may or may not cause a seized piston, reducing brake efficiency or brake failure in the worst case. Personally, I'd be doing a check of the piston condition at the same time. In my case, I found I needed to replace the rotors as well, so a simple pad swap equated to hub off and a full caliper rebuild. Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

I agree, i've got Mintex at the moment, they're ok, but squeal a bit. Mintex and Pagid are made by the same company. But Mintex are now their budget brand (save for a few specialist compounds) and Pagid are their premium brand. I've used pagid in my previous L322 and other cars. They were silent as a mouse with a nice fast bed in time. It's worth getting a fitting kit too, they're between £3 and £10 depending where you get them, but it saves the hassle of reusing scabby springs and trying to find spit pins.
Take it to Kwikfit etc for one of their free brake checks. They'll tell you what needs doing, then you can do it yourself, it's what i do.  |

EBC greenstuff is for fast road use. You have to warm them up before they work! Try blackstuff that works straight away for 'normal' road use. That's what I'm using and quite like them! 1953 80"

I've got greenstuff, and quite happy with them.
Have been for a while. Definitely worth getting the split pins etc too. Personally, this is just me but I'd get someone to do the pad change. At least then you know you could never be accused of anything should the worst ever happen. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⛽ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°ðŸ’ª |

I get your point but on the other hand there not hard to do and if you do it yourself you know it's done correct and you could always take pics.
I've seen some proper crap work over the years from so called technicians |

Indeed, depends on self confidence and skill. I think most people here know their boundarys of capacity of capability. If you feel happy and capable go for it. 👍🏻 Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸
