Are the rear pads on the mk4 golf smaller than the front pads ?

Probably, on most ordinary road cars the rear discs are smaller than the
front discs, so the pads will have to be too.

I've never touched my brakes before so had no idea.

But with aid of the haynes and a god send of a caliper rewind tool I
managed to do my rear discs and pads this afternoon.

Tommorow I shall do the brake fluid change which is due.

Quite chuffed with it and saved £90 labour. Although it was an arse ache
setting up tools axle stands etc etc and then packing up. But well worth
it knowing its been done with some love lol.
