I just did this today and the "special" tools I found I needed were: a 7mm hexagonal (six-sided) bit socket (one that will fit onto a ratchet...there isn't enough room to use a hexagonal head screw driver) and that's really it. I assume that you have a ratchet set with metric sockets, brake lube, pads etc. This is an easy job don't worry.
Yes, no special tools needed. A brake shoe spring retractor tool will make it easier.
what tools are needed
No special tools needed.
It does not have brake shoes, it has brake pads. And, yes you will need a special caliber compression tool. You can borrow this tool at almost any auto parts store that sells pads. Just ask.
No, no special tools needed, just common hand tools.
Changing your own front brake pads can save hundreds of dollars. Tools needed for the job are a jack, the brake pads, lug wrench, socket wrench, and brake fluid.
ratchet or socket
basic tools are all that are needed its a simple job. They are disc type brakes.If you can do the front, then you can do the rear.
On the Vectra B, the only special tool needed is an 8mm Allen key.
