SUPPLIES AND TOOLS REQUIRED

• New brake pads
• 6" Allen key
• Hammer
• 13" pipe wrench
• Pliers
• Jack or jackstands + wrench for wheel removal
• Vehicle technical manual

The steps

• Remove the wheel from your small car, to free up the braking system

• Loosen the 2 caliper nuts using a pipe wrench or 13" socket

• Once the 2 nuts have been removed, remove the 2 screws using a 6" Allen key

• Disconnect the brake pad wear indicator cable

• Remove the plate holding the outer brake pad (if necessary, you can give it a few light taps up and down with a hammer )

• The old brake pads are now free, and you need to push the caliper piston back in using the multi-gripper. To do this, press gently until the brake fluid flows back into the jar. When you remove the brake pads from the caliper, make sure you know which way they are facing.

All that's left to do is fit your new new brake pads and repeat the previous steps in the opposite direction.

In the case of a floating assembly: reposition the moving part of the caliper and screw it back onto the fixed part.

For fixed mounting: replace the pin(s)

Before starting off again, depress the brake pedal several times until it becomes hard again. For the first few kilometers, drive and brake more slowly while the brake pads settle into place and begin to wear. This step also brings the pads closer to the disc, enabling the first braking action.

Check brake brake fluid level making sure you don't exceed the maximum volume!
