1- Start by loosening the brake fluid reservoir cover.
|
2- Remove it and put it aside not to forget that you loosened it.
|
3- Block the back wheel on the other side of your intervention.
|
|
4- Lift the vehicle just enough to relief the wheel from pressure. Keep the wheel in contact with the floor.
|
5- Use the tool supplied with your vehicle to remove the screw caps.
|
6- Loosen all wheel bolts. Do not remove them yet.
|
|
7- Lift your vehicle until the wheel is no more in contact with the floor, place the jack stand below the triangle pivot and bring down the car until it touches the stand. Keep the hydraulic jack in place.
|
8- Unscrew completely the wheel bolts, remove them and remove the wheel. Watch your back, the wheel is quite heavy and voluminous.
|
9- The brake caliper is held by the means of two bolts on its back side. The bolts in this case are enclosed within rubber protectors.
|
|
10- Remove the cap of the protector. In most small cars, it will be enough to unscrew the lower bolt and rotate the caliper around the upper one.
|
11- It is easier to completely remove the caliper is this vehicle however. Insert your ratchet socket and unscrew the lower bolt or both bolts.
|
12- If the caliper includes a spring like this one, remove it using a screwdriver while holding it with the other hand. If not, skip this step.
|
|
13- Use a screwdriver to pull out the caliper. Do not force, apply short movements.
|
14- If it doesn't go out, push back a little the cylinder with your screwdriver. Take care not to damage the rubber bellows.
|
15- Take out the caliper (or rotate it upwards) and let it lay on the disc. In this case, the inner pad is fixed to the cylinder and moves with the caliper.
|
|
16- The other pad is still in place but in most cases both pads will be free from the cylinder and remain in their seats on each side of the disc.
|
17- Take them out and gently push back the cylinder using a C-clamp and taking care not to damage the rubber bellows.
|
18- Fit the new inner pad on the cylinder or its seat on the disc.
|
|
19- Fit the outer pad in its seat.
|
20- Remove the protecting paper if it has one, refit the caliper and tighten the bolts.
|
21- If your calipers have springs, replace them every three times you replace the pads.
|
|
22- Clean with gasoline the places where the springs will come into contact with the caliper.
|
23- Use a graphite grease to lubricate these parts. Do not use any other type of grease.
|
24- Spread a thin coat all over the contact areas.
|
|
25- The spring requires no tool to be refitted. Introduce it on one side first, then into the whole of the other side.
|
26- Now stretch it and push it in its final location.
|
27-. Make sure it is well fitted in its intended place.

Final checklist - before driving !
1- Close well the brake fluid reservoir and make sure the level is between Min and Max marks.
2- Turn on the engine WITHOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, i.e. while the parking brake is still applied.
3- Press the brake pedal several times until it becomes stiff as usual. Do not continue to "pump".
4- Drive and test gently the brakes. Avoid strong braking during the first 100Km after pad replacement.
