All fairly simple spannering,

There are a few things to do while you are at it with bits off

1 use a file to clean out where the pads sit in the rear caliper carrier, which stops the pads binding in the carrier and overheating the rear discs.

2 check the seals in the brembos on the front for condition

3 run the adjustment cycle for the EPB once you have refitted the new shoes and discs even if just discs.

4 make sure you clean the front hub thoroughly before refitting the discs so he new discs fit flush

5 recommend genuine discs and pads for least problems

6 don't overtighten the bolts on the brembos they are aluminium calipers


If when you are removing one of the bolts from the Brembos it doesn't free up as you are slackening it, you have got a it seized in, this will strip most of the thread out of the calliper. There isn't much you can do about it to prevent it, it's a case of finding someone who can helicoil it for you or getting a new calliper.

Just a few things to be aware of.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
