sczscoob Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I know what you mean mate. i put new discs and pads on the rear of the Scoob. As soon as i was ages trying to get the drivers side back wheel off i new i was in for a bad day! Ended up taking it up to the local garage and getting the use of the ramps to get the job done. Still took a while. No patience for working on cars now!! Link to comment
