Hi All,
Got an 18 month old Panda 4x4. We are up to 30,000 miles and at the last service we were told that the rear pads were 80% worn (front 50%).
2 questions:
1. Is this wear pattern normal? This seems very high wear for the rear pads - and even stranger for them to wear faster than the fronts!
2. I’m fairly handy with a spanner and was thinking of changing the rear pads myself. I gather I need some sort of calliper rewind kit. Can anyone point me at the tool I need to purchase to rewind the calliper? Having read the thread on changing the rear disks I’m hoping to get away with just changing the pads this time round.
Many thanks,
Steve
