Make sure you give them a call first - they couldn't fit mine in for a few days (it was directly after the Christmas break though).

Don't hit it too hard or you might bend the slider pin. I'm not sure what the overhaul entailed - its just written on the invoice. Has a 12 month/20,000km warranty though.

Well i dropped the car off thismorning. I think i over-tightened the piston coz the rear right was smoking when i pulled up :oops: The pin was completely corroded and needed a bit of work. In total, i got both rears done with new pads for $148. Was more than what i was expecting but they spent over an hour trying to free the slide pin! At least its all beter now.

$148 including new pads? That was a bargain. New pads could easily set you back that much alone - what sort did they fit? With mine I supplied a set of genuine pads - they fitted these for me while they had the lot apart.

I supplied the pads (Bendix CT's). I got all the pads at cost price coz i have a friend in the industry. (he made me an offer i couldnt refuse!)
