Have a read through this Emily it may help!

I've not done brakes on a MINI but sounds like your dad was trying the right things..

http://www.mini2.com/forum/maintenance-mini-care/73077-tips-changing-rear-brake-pads.html

when i done mine i had the same problem,you have a worm screw that you have to do before you can fit new pads,if you still have probs tomorow i could come round to show you how to do them in the evening if you want,,,,just let me know,,,

Hope you get it sorted Emily!
