One thing to remember in this weather is to make sure that the screen isn't too cold before you start, seriously
 With mine the screen needed a little bit of persuasion, just a small flex, to get it in properly, the first time I did it it was freezing and the screen cracked  Got it replaced, warmed the new one over a radiator and it flexed and fitted no problem.

Push the pistons right back into the calipers before you take the old pads out. |

i always thought that the sqealing noise came from the pads rubbing on the discs.
so how exactly does copper grease stop the noise ? |
