How do you replace them? Do I need any special tools?

Just realised my MOT's up Friday so I've only got a couple of days to get that and my brake pads ordered from the dealers and changed :shock: :cry:

The outboards were a piece of cake on my BX. Dunno about Pugs, they don't look too much ag tho, apart from the r/h inner, I think.

Argh! Embarrassingly I can't remember which one it is, so I've just spent an hour going through photos and I *think* it may actually be the o/s steering rack gaiter... :oops:
