Also, if old pads were worn down a lot, you may need to press in pistons a bit, and check after changing pad (and pressing in piston) on each corner brake fluid level. Thicker pad -> deeper pushed pistons for pad to fit in -> fluid level will rise. After 2nd-3rd-4th pad there is possibility for fluid to overflow (if it had been topped to normal level with old, thinner pads), if you don't remove excess fluid with eg. syringe.

This clears everything up thank you so much. Just to confirm, I can just save the backplates from my old pads right? Would there be any noise reduction benefit if I were to reuse them?
