I did the rear brakes on the wifes golf a few months ago, dead easy, took about an hour. Have a search on google, somebody somewhere will have done a step by step guide with pictures. good luck!

piece of piss monk .... if your not sure just take some photos as you go along with your mobile and consult them when you re fit

 

[plasterjfe]

piss easy, sometimes you need an odd spanner or key but usually should be ok, pads are easier than shoes for sure

If you use a brake ca loped wind back tool then there is no need to bleed them
