I've just noticed that my pads on my vauxhall zafira x reg 2 litre diesel pads need changing soon.
was wondering if any one knows how easy or how hard they are to change and weather i need special tools to do the job
many thanks hope for a reply soon

Special tools? The main one you'll need is a 7mm Allen key to change the front brake pads. Available through most motorist centres.
And of course not forgetting to support the vehicle properly with something like axle stands, and not rely solely upon a jack.

is that 7mm the same to change the rear pads or harder to change

The rear brake setup is totally different. The piston needs a special retractor tool, apparently available for about £20.
As on any Vauxhall, don't forget to slacken the bleed valve when pushing back the piston (front or rear) to avoid the fluid pressure from inverting the seals in the master cylinder.
