How to Replace the Front Brake Pads on an Alfa Romeo

Model: Alfa Romeo 156 MK 1 - Years 1997-2007
Part: Brake pads

Here’s how to replace the front brake pads on an Alfa Romeo. Lift the car on a column lift (jack) to the desired height, then remove the wheel (using a socket wrench or air impact gun) with the respective bolts. Unscrew the caliper retaining bolt and remove the caliper from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the caliper, then remove the brake caliper. Fit the new pads onto the caliper; then refit the caliper onto the brake disc. Tighten all bolts and refit the wheel. Repeat the same steps for the other calipers on the vehicle.
