Changing brake pads on W124
 

Hey guys i received my first car, it's a 260E 89' W124 shape and i do not have much knowledge into these type of cars. But if possible could someone with experience give me some pointers or tips as to changing the brake pads on both front and rears of the car. They are making a very loud and embarassing squeal, and show un-even wear on the recently replaced brembo discs and the front. Possibly due to a warped pad ? anyway its about time to change them.

Regards, Aaron from australia..

Hi Aaron Job is really simple if you have done other car's brake pads---and previous writer to you has probably sorted this out for you OK---but what I really want to say is why not buy the Haynes owners DIY book for the 124 series---I have bought manuals for all the cars we've had (including the 124 series) and they have provenly delivered 'pearls for pennies' value.
