Brake pads
Had the MOT done on my 99 Impreza Turbo the other day and they have 'advised' on pads all round - are these an easy job on these cars for the DIY mechanic because the chap in the garage was mentioning something about special tools needed or something!
Anyone done their own or know how to do it - I've done brakes on other cars before so I'm not completely inexperienced (honest)!?

Cant comment specifically on Scooby's but generally pads are fairly easy to replace by someone with some knowlegde of cars. (So far on all my cars / bikes anyway, basic tools required.)
"Special Tools" sounds to me a bit like a sales line trying to get your business!
