Replacing the Brake Pads on a Chevrolet Matiz

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Brake pads

Replacing the front brake pads on a Chevrolet Matiz. Lift the car on a column jack to the desired height, then remove the wheel (using a telescopic wrench or air drill) with the respective bolts. Undo the locking pin of the brake caliper and remove it from the wheel support. Use a screwdriver to take out the pads from the wheel hub caliper, then remove the brake caliper. Install the new pads onto the caliper, then refit the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc. Tighten all the bolts and refit the wheel.
