Hi folks, a friend of mine has asked me to replace the front discs and pads on her J plate 308D.Although i work in a vehicle workshop i havent worked on one of these vans before and i would like to know what tools to take with me to remove the caliper and carrier and discs?.
Also what tool will i need to slacken the serpentine belt tensioner as so i can fit a new one?.
I just dont want to travel a long way and not take the correct tools.

Many thanks!

:D

You might need a torx bit to get the disc off the hub, depends if its a pozi or that. Centre pop usually sots them.
