Video tutorial

Is your vehicle not braking well? Let's look at the removal and replacement of the brake pads on a Matiz. Loosen the pins with a telescopic spanner and lift to a comfortable height for access.

Unscrew the pins and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the pins of the brake caliper (using a socket spanner) to detach it from its support. Use a socket spanner to relieve the pressure of the oil from the caliper: remove the caliper and the pads from inside it. Clean all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with brushes.

Fit the new brake pad kit after completely removing the old ones.
