Posts: 2 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Front pads question Hi guys, I'm about to attempt for the first time a front brake pad change on my 2006 panda dynamic.  Could anybody tell me if there is anything I should look out for, and also, does anybody know if the caliper is held on with a pin or bolts. If its like the old shape panda I had, it was a pin and you just swiveled the caliper upwards to remove the pads. Is the new one the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Josh
