    Nothing really new... several excellent threads have documented the process, but since I decided to get rid of the crappy pads on my car, I figured I would video the process for those who prefer that format. Just search "Ferrari 348 Brake Pad Change" on Youtube, or try these links (if they work):

    Thanks for this.
    I have a new pair of rotors sitting on the shelf and I was going to change out the pads.

    Now to figure out what I want to put up front. good stopping power, but low dust is what I'm after. I never track the car but do aggressively drive her sometimes. Off to the forum for the 1000 opinions on pads. :D

    Hi Paul

    Thanks for posting another great video (love your engine service ones on youtube)!

    Just as a suggestion if I may - I used to spread my pads in a similar manner as per your video and invariably kept scratching the calipers until I came across a brake pad spreader tool - its a lot easier eliminates the risk of damaging your calipers completely :)

    That's a cool bit of kit... better than my crude tools. I'll have to get one of those. I usually use a C clamp and a couple of appropriately sized sockets on my normal 1 piston-per-caliper cars, but that wasn't gonna work on 4 little pistons. Thanks for the recomendation!

    Thanks for the great vid, Paul. You're GCK install vids were life savers, by the way.

    Can I assume the brake pad swap procedure would be fairly identical on a 355? If so, this should be featured in the 355 DIY sticky as well.
