I changed all 4 disks and pads on my almera 1.8 sport. it was really easy. plus i know nothing about cars.
Take the wheel off. Then the caliper mechanism just unbolts and lifts off with pads that are just bolted to the calipers, then the disks just pull off.
BE CAREFUL ON THE BACK! its a very common fault for the back breaks to squeal and stick on this kind of almera, if yours seem to the stuck and the caliper wont compress when fitting new disks n pads. then the piston part needs to be cleaned. i found that the piston will unscrew and can be cleaned to remove rust and other cr4p in there.
parts were arround £180 for 4 disks 8 pads and break fluid for EK MOTORS
bleed from back L>R front L>R
have the engine running when bleeding or nothing happens
