I have a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 with ABS, registered March 2005. I need to change the disc brake pads on the front wheels. Is this something I can do, or is it best left to Vauxhall? I have changed pads on all my previous cars, but never had a car with ABS before.
Can you advise how to change the pads and what specific tools I might need? Thank you, Regards

ABS shouldn`t change the way you replace the front pads ..abs sensor is on back near the rotor .......
pull caliper...remove old pads..depress caliper piston and reinstall ...make sure you pump the brakes up before putting back in gear ..otherwise you won`t have a pedal
