Long time since i did any castor camber settings. Bit of a lost art on a lot of modern motors.

Changing pads - no, Changing the entire disc - yes, because the caliper assembly on a P38 is nothing like the ones I am used to on Saabs.
And even less like the drum brakes on a Series or a UAZ. At least on the P38 I can safely assume the discs are all the same size. Unlike the drums on a UAZ.

Front and rear discs are different sizes.
The screw holding the rotor in place will probably need banging round with a hole punch then replacing. Might need some heat to get the caliper bolts out. In the technical section there is a How To on changing the CV boot and I think it mentions taking the caliper off too.

I find an impact driver works on the screw and a large cracker bar on the caliper carrier bolts.

so the first time you did it it was perfect, no prior knowledge or anything, most people learn from watching other people do things, as an apprentice nobody said there's a machine that's fooked fix it, you worked with the main man - apprentice doesn't happen these days so the videos do help those willing to learn IMHO
