how to change front brake pads on a renault espace?
does the callipers have to come off ?
Ive done this million of times. Once you do it, its easier next time. I’m guessing it’s disc,so, nope, the claiper can stay put, just loosen the one bolt ont he botton of the calliper, and the cover should lift up, from botton to top ini a outward motion, like lifting up a car hood.
Then use a screwdriver to loosen the pads on each side, and take em out.
Same way to install, stick one end of the pad int the slot, then the other end.
Do it once, you’ll get the hang of it..All cars are the same, some might have diff procedures…But basically universal.

For some people, dollhouse collecting has turned into a captivating hobby, mainly because of the intricate designs, shapes and level of detailing. However, when it comes to drawing a line between dollhouse series for children and a dollhouse that addresses adult collectors, the difference is huge. Dollhouse miniatures for adults are specifically designed for depicting the exact architectural details and constructional expertise of a real house, but at a smaller scale.
In addition, dollhouse collections include items that depict a variety of trends, contemporary styles and classic architecture, so assembling a dollhouse that depicts the Victorian period, for example, can turn into an exciting adventure.
Assembling a valuable dollhouse is a process that requires attention, patience and skills. Setting a dollhouse in a specific period is possible only if you manage to assemble it correctly. Therefore, we thought to provide dollhouse collectors with a short and handy guide on how to assemble a dollhouse:
Step 1 – Unwrapping the box
This seems like an easy task: what could be mentioned about opening the box? Well, when it comes to dollhouse items, fragility and accurate labeling are the first things you need to do when unwrapping the box.
Just write the name of each piece before you take it out of its sheet and also the sheet number. This way, when you will get to the assembling part, you’ll have every piece nicely organized for putting the dollhouse together.
You might find pieces that need light sanding before assembling, or others that were not completely die cut during the manufacturing process. Therefore, a hobby knife might come handy.
Step 2 – Choosing the right glue
Assembling a dollhouse requires collectors to learn a bit more about glue, because different types of glue are used during the different stages of assembling the dollhouse.
Wood glue is ideal for upper-grade dollhouse kits, but also for die-cut dollhouses. Remember to remove the excess glue between steps with a paintbrush.
Glue guns can be used to hold pieces that are drying. However, hot glue doesn’t work well with a dollhouse, considering the fact that is not meant for permanent applications. At one time or another, heat and cold will cause it to separate and spoil your entire work.
Before actually using the glue, it is recommended to try a dry run – you’ll have an overall view on the dollhouse and get a better understanding on the entire dollhouse concept.
Step 3 – Taking care of the details
While assembling different parts of the dollhouse, taking care of details such as the electric lights can easily turn into an independent project. Doll houses are usually lighted using simple systems based on cooper foil. Just like a roll of scotch tape, the wiring can be scrolled everywhere you want power. Electric light for dollhouse miniatures is really not expensive; it will cost you less than $25. The basic idea is that this is something easier to install during the assembling process rather than after the doll house is up.
Some collectors chose to apply a thin layer of semi-gloss paint on the wood parts of the doll house.
From this point further, the sky is the limit; anyone can personalize a dollhouse according to their personal taste or budget. Miniature dollhouse furniture and other accessories are available in local stores or over the Internet. All you have to do is look for that special doll house accessory for creating a unique piece of art.
Whether you are collecting doll houses for fun, for relaxation or for enjoying special moments with your kids, one thing is sure: doll houses are a unique way to express a person’s creativity and skill. The reward is unparallel, and the finished dollhouse is something that the entire family can enjoy.

Borrowed Hearts: A Holiday Romance (1997 TV movie)
aka Borrowed Hearts
starring Roma Downey, Eric McCormack, Hector Elizondo, Sarah Rosen Fruitman
IMDb synopsis:
Kathleen is a hard-working single mother who is saving to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoey. Sam is a businessman who has to pretend he has a family in order to close a deal with the mysterious Javier Del Campo. Sam owns the company that Kathleen works for and, as her boss, manages to convince her to help him out. But Del Campo is more than he seems, and it just might be Zoey who is making the real deal to get a new home for herself, her mother, and Sam.
The little girl sees a house that looks like her dollhouse, gets out of the car and runs to it. Finding the door unlocked, she goes in, which helps get the story moving along. I generally watch this every year though I don’t usually like most holiday movies as they get too sugary. But, this one is enjoyable, and Eric McCormack looks especially handsome!
