Are you only replacing one side??
No will be doing both but I'll see how one side goes. I won't be driving until both sides are done properly.
I have unlimited breakdown so no problems.

Its a hydraulic system, you wont have any brakes! The piston will probably fall out of the caliper the first time you brake. Scary question to ask to be honest. So what about unlimited breakdown is just creating a risk to other drivers as you break down on the road.Worst case scenario you can't get the pads in how undrivable would the car be without a brake on a rear wheel?

Give it to a mechanic, he will have a torque wrench too.

Dont forget to clamp the flexible brake pipe and open the bleed nipple to make it easier to push the piston back and stop any damage to the brake master cylinder.
Not if they are rears with a handbrake mechanismSingle piston design... just use a G clamp with one side inside the piston.
