Never heard of a magna? But, most all front disc brakes are the 'same'. You must depress the piston into the caliper housing to accept the new pads which can be done with a large C clamp. You should open the bleeder on the caliper prior to depressing the piston so that you don't force the old, nasty, fluid back into the system. If you do it right, you won't have to bleed afterwards. It is always recommended to resurface the rotors at the same time. Gotta know, what is a magna? Loren SW Washington

LOL; I have a bad habbit of 'skimming' the mssg. The 1994 should have been a clue. Hmmm. Old age? Good excuse? But, have never heard of a Mits. Magna. Must be a Euro or Aussie model? No matter, still just a rice burner. Loren SW Washington
