    DC5 - Change Rear Pads

    I'm going to try and change my rear brake pads tomorrow following this DIY and just wanted to check a few things before I went for it.

    My main concerns are the torque and grease as I'm pretty sure everything else is step by step. My torque wrench is one of those massive 1/2 drive ones and I doubt I'll be able to fit it behind my caliper. Would the torque be super important or should I just try to not over tighten? Also for the grease I noticed that in the DIY for the DC2 here on clubitr he did not use any grease when installing the pads. How important is it? (I say this because I may not have time to go out and buy some tomorrow)

    Pretty sure this is all I was concerned about for now, anything else I should be looking out for?

    Torque wrench wouldnt be required. I dont remember using grease to hold the plate on with my pads. This was because my pads came with different backing plates/surfaces.

      might just wanna swab some grease on the slides (Bolts holding the caliper to the caliper bracket), some brands of pads come with a small plastic packet of grease specifically for this. if you cant do it dont worry about it to much but it could cause uneven pad wear in the future.
