Front and rear pads are easy to change and are just standard pistons so no need for winding them back.The handbrake is located inside the the rear discs which you have to remove the caliper mount if you want to service.If the handbrake was working ok then dont bother taking it off,Ive never seen the handbrake shoes worn on a vectra as they get so little use,except for once when the handbrake had been left on inadvertently.

most every car made they work the same... once you knwo how to do one you got it.... they are a few that has a screw in type piston way of knowing they wil be notchs cut in the piston for the tool to fit....... sorry hand brakes are also about the same in how they work .. you might have to adjust them more or less after puting on new pads but still i dont see any problems if you have done any before
Buy a Haynes Manual (拢20) and stay alive.
hello. the frount pads and discs are normal to change. as for the back the pads are ok to change but you must srew the piston in with a special tool which you can get from any car shop for that vehicle. also if you push the piston in on the front make sure you clamp the flexi hose and undo the bleed nipple as if not you will turn the seals the wrong way round and then you have got big problems. good luck.
I don't know what year you have, or what tranny style (some parking brakes on large vehicles are located on the rear of the tranny instead of the rear wheels). The front disc brakes should be like any other disc brakes on a medium duty vehicle, though depending on the year you may need to replace grease seals and pack bearings. It may have disc or drum rear. If it is disc rear, then there were several styles of disc rear, and some can be a bit more difficult, but this is because of a floating rear axle and an inboard rotor (you need to pull the axle to get to the rotor). If you are advanced enough of a technician to be working on what is essentially a bus, you've got nothing to worry about. If you have worked only on small cars and nothing 1 ton or above, I suggest you leave at least the rear to a qualified medium duty tech if it has inboard rotors so you don't wind up damaging the differential.
make sure when you push the piston you do it slowly as on some vauxhall it turns the seals over
