New V8V Brake Pad Replacement
Discussion
I killed my pads last night chasing a V12V round the countryside. I am having trouble finding the time for a trip to Derby or to my dealer to fit some new front pads to my V8 Vantage (2006), so I am thinking in getting my tools out and having a go myself. I used to be very handy with cars but have not got dirty for a while. Does anyone have any tips for replacing the pads. I am thinking
1. Jack the car remove wheel.
2. Unbolt calliper and remove from disk
3. Unbolt/clip Pads Not sure if it is a bolt or a clip
4. Slide out old pads
5. Push Pistons back into calliper
6. Put grease on back of pads
7. Put in pads in to calliper
8. Re-connect sensor and or get a new sensor and connect it.
9. Rebolt back into place to correct torque settings (does anyone know what that is?).
I am thinking of getting the pads from my dealer but if anyone has a better pad or supplier recommendation then that would be cool.

Cheers Rick, I am thinking within the next couple of weeks as the light came on yesterday, a video would be fantastic. I have looked on your site and see you supply new clip pin set, is that advisable to change when doing the pads? Also is it best to replace the wear indicator wires? Just wondering what to add to my basket?
