Any gotcha's on installing the pads on a S-70..
for example to compress the rear calipers on a 98 Jetta you have to turn it
while compressing it..
Anything like that on the S-70?

Thanks!

If you haven't installed the pads yet, I'd add:
Check the lip on each rotor. They need to be replaced about every other set of pads on my S70. Secondly, my pistons compressed by rocking/pressing the caliper with the old pads in against the rotor. Also, it is a good time to check the brake hoses while your head's in there! Good luck.

It is a pretty easy job. This site has all the tools and
procedures:

The biggest issue is with squeeking pads. Use the brake grease as
described. Also, OEM pads seem less likely to squeel.
