Changed Front Brake Pads

I knew they were close to needing changing but this afternoon i could hear the tell tale noise coming from the front passenger side wheel.
It sounded like you have something metal stuck in your tyre and as you drive along you can hear it, anyway pulled out the pads and sure enough they were down to the backing section




Here they are compared to the new pads

8.20mm in total including the backing plate
 Pads out
New pads measuring the thickness to the center grove
 Total thickness of new pads
 PC35 Pads, these are a very good pad and can't recommend them highly enough,
Cleaning up the discs and calipers, this is Rapid Brake cleaner and works a treat

 Putting the pads back into the calipers

These caliper are really easy to swap pads and you simply bolt this bridge back in place and  you are done
Drivers side pads
