i looked on that and it didnt make sence as to what my calipers and pads are like. i didnt see no piston screw or anything the whole caliper came off nothing was attached to it then the 2 pads move about do do not quite come of the slider as where the bolt holes are for it that part gets in the way any help or pictures would be nice i didnt really fancy paying to get this done thanks.

okay i did it all and the pads on the drivers side where worn almost all the way down on one part and still had good amount left on another part of the pad any ideas what was rong? i also had to put them back on as whe i went to put the new ones on it wouldnt go all the way on because the pad on the outer side was stopping it from getting close enough for the holes to line up to put the bolts back on any ideas why its doing this?
