Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / July 2006changing pads with abs
hi.wondering if anyone could advise me if there is any difference in changing brake pads on a car that has abs, compared to one without it. never had to change on car with abs before now. any thoughts would be really appreciated. thank you..  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com no difference unless you go to change and bleed the modulator.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Yes bleed as normal. Note depends on which model but most 1989 onwards had rear pistons that need to screwed in to fit new pads ( screwed in with a special tool that you can get at Repco , Supercheap etc.) SignatureRegards Blue Remove ZX from email address to reply directly. >Yes bleed as normal.

They work better than the cube type http://www.ccw-tools.co.uk/catalogue/previews/VS039.jpg SignatureRegards Blue Remove ZX from email address to reply directly. > Yes bleed as normal.

The screwdriver worked on my 1990 Magna, but I can't guarantee it'll work on any other car. Yes you can (the Haynes manual suggests using water pump/slip joint pliers). The special tools are cheap and make it easier although it can still involve some effort. Whatever you use lubricate the rubber seals piston generously with WD40, CRC or similar first to prevent them sticking and tearing when you screw the pistons in.
