HOW TO – Replace the pads on your car’s disc brakes

Geo has a really good Instructable on replacing the pads on your car’s disc brakes, it isn’t that hard and as one of the commenters (and MAKE pal Radiorental) says “Seriously – of all the odd jobs someone should learn this ought to be top of the list.

Maringally harder to replace than bicycle brakes…” – Link.
