Should be fairly snug. I used a set of circlip pliars and took my time, but I'm going to buy one of the proper tools for next time. It could be what happened to mine. The dust sheild was damaged, and the piston wouldn't retract, so I ended up fitting the old very badly worn pads, and swapping the lot as soon as the new parts arrived. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
