As simple as any pads to replace. You might want to replace the slider pins whilst you're at it.

Easy as **** but as said slider pins have a habit of sticking

it depends how sticky your calipers are, replacing the pins is a good option but if the pistons rusted and stick, better get a new caliper. Shouldn't be too hard if you know what your doing.

She threw you out, living in the caravan ? sounds like heaven
I wish lol
No I was working on the car and the wife was rushing me cos we were ment to be going out so I just threw all my gear in the caravan cos its too on the drive
Anyway I forgot to close the curtains on it and forgot to move my gear when I got back!
About 3 days later on my way to work I noticed the caravan door had been forced open and when I looked somone had been in it and took my chest and my cordless grinder
Not a happy bunny
It wasent a massively expensive kit but its the principal
And caravans contents are not covered on my insurance

Bummer, know what you mean, you have spanners in your kit that you know are perfect for a particular job. When they are borrowed/nicked you don't half miss them, makes the job twice as hard

Your not wrong
Thing is you dont know you need a particular tool till you need it! By then the cars in too many bits to drive to halfords to get one
