Rotor and pads

HI,

Just watched your very helpful video on changing the rotors and pads on the front wheels of a VW Beetle.

I have a 2008 VW New Beetle Convertible and would like to change all four rotors and all pads. I have never attempted such a repair but your video suggests I can do it. I do have a question or two though.

Are the back brakes the same as the front? That is, is the procedure the same?

What size Allen socket do I need for this repair?

Can I just order the parts online? Need I worry about sizes or part numbers or will they be standard based on the vehicle model and, do you have any suggestions as to what I should buy?


Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
