Is changing the rotors and pads on a 95' golf gl just a straight swap?

Yep, it's pretty straight forward. As long as you don't get any bolts that refuse to cooperate with you..

For the rear pads tho you need the tool to reset the piston. It needs to be pushed in and turned simulataneously, theres a proper tool to do it which makes life so much easier or theres the cheapie one from repco/supercheap. There was a thread on here about it if you wanna search for it.

Well worth buying the tool i reckon.

a pair of multi grips will do
worked a treat for me just be careful not to damage the piston

Or needle nose pliers with a curved end also work

Thanks for all of this guys! I have been swearing and cursing at the vr for the last 2 hours, one split doorcard later I have it off and now have just managed to work out how to get the regulator out. Thanks for all that boys and girls!
