Replacing Brake Pads on Chevrolet/Daewoo Matiz

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

Loosen the wheel bolts of the affected wheel, raise the car with one or two jacks, and remove them completely, then take off the wheel. Unscrew the two rear bolts of the brake caliper (use WD-40 spray if needed) and lift the caliper: this will allow you to extract the brake pads, which will now be free. While you're at it, clean the entire braking area as shown in the video. Insert the new brake pads, position the caliper, and screw in the two bolts you initially removed. Refit the wheel and you're done. Check that the car brakes correctly.
