Hi again chaps had the wheels off today to try and rectify the occasional clunking when braking .One of the springs near the pads has snapped and the pad can move a little .My question is are they car specific and can they be bought separately to the pads also the pins look a bit corroded can these be bought separately as well thank you in advance ....Rob

Don't know where you are in Lancashire, but check out these guys if they are near you, I'm in East Lancashire and can point you to shops around me that sell all the stuff you need.

HI everyone had the wheels off ,fitted the anti rattle spring

brakes working fine now no clunking I couldnt get the bottom pad pin out but managed with taking out the top pin ,Do they weld those bloody pins in

used plusgas gingerly knackered 2 nail punches trying to remove the bottom pin was going to use blowlamp but thought better of it

is there an easy way without damaging the housing?...Rob PS thanks Jasper for the link the pad spring and pin pack was £7.30
