Before I attempt this job myself, is it a real pig of a job or is it very simple? Ive got a 1992 syncro and the brakes are squealing like mad and arent as good as they should be. I tried looking in the wiki but theres nothing there about doing this job. Any advice?

Pretty simple job for a competent DIYer. Try the haynes manual, they even do a specialist braking system manual iirc.

I'm useless with anything mechanical, but was talked through changing some front pads at last years Techie Weekend.

So, if I can do it - anyone can!

Any problems then give us a call and can talk you through it.

I've not done the later ones, early ones can be troublesome if the calipers are bigger than they used to be 'cost they've rusted a bit, I've had to get a metal file out to restore things to their original dimensions, but the later ones look as if they'd be less susceptible to such problems.
