Watch "Chaning Brake Discs and Pads on a Fiat Punto" on YouTube
Chaning Brake Discs and Pads on a Fiat Punto: [ame]http://youtu.be/1oDtjltGAQk[/ame]

Watched this and it is so simple mate obviously this was a punto,but it even made me think how much is paid to get them done at the garage

It's the rear that's the problem as like my scenic the brake piston needs rewinding back into the caliper,
Just need to know do I need a tool to do it

Yes. You need a tool to wind back the piston into the caliper (n/s/r wind anti-clock; o/s/r wind clockwise) because the rear calipers also operate the hand brake.

That is the front he is changing. The do the rear pads you will need a rewind tool (left and right handed).
