It's actually easy to DIY brakes. I also did brakes and discs a few months ago. Enjoy

Awww...... it is peanuts, sure you will be great :cartel:

Just remember to undo the brakefluid cap first before starting :rollsmile: , did my front a few months ago and the rears like 2 weeks ago. A tip, triall the new sensor tip first on the brakepad before installing the brakepads so you know how tight you need to press to lock it.

We did a friends front brakes and had this issue, not after we had to redo the already done wheel :roflol:

Brakes was spongy and soft after the change ,did a bit of bleeding and it hardend a bit .
