The efficiency of your car's braking system is crucial for ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers. It is advisable to purchase original pads to avoid reduced braking efficiency.

This guide shows how to replace them. Lift the car with a jack, then unscrew the wheel bolts and the hex bolts that secure the caliper to the hub. You can then slide the caliper off the rotor and, applying pressure, extract the worn pads.

It is good practice to use a blast of compressed air to remove dust residue.
