Part: Brake pads

Unscrew the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle securely. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel. Using a screwdriver and hammer, push out the two clips of the brake shoe spring.

Install the new pads, paying attention to the rotation direction stamped on the body. Before removing the inner pad, disconnect the electrical contact via its connector. Remove the second pad and install the new one, reconnecting the wires. Refit the spring and the two clips. Refit the wheel. Recheck the brake fluid level.
