Alfa156Melb 9 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Smaky, are you able to provide a full How To for rear rotor and pad replacement (156) please? Would you also replace the handbrake cable as a matter of course? or leave them if they are in good nick? Also, EB Spares only sell the left and right cable.. not the centre one... would that normally not require replacement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
