    Default Brake pads change

    Hi,
    I need to change my brake pads on my 2010 RS. Is it something I can order from eBay (or different place) and change it myself. In the manual it says brakes need to be changed by the dealer, but I am keen to do it myself. How easy is it? Can someone point me to the correct stuff to order?

    Thanks!

    go to our sponsor BajaRon and he can set you up with what you need to make the change. If you have one great if not get a shop manual online like Green manual off ebay to help...good luck...you will do fine...

    You can purchase the BRP Service Manual from www.brpmanuals.com. It is in pdf format so you can print the pages you need for each service or repair.

    Easy to do if you've done brakes on a car. Just be very careful with the clips that hold the brake pads. They break very easily. I had to make a new clip out of a spring I had in the tool box because I was a bobo and broke one.
