Video tutorial

The video shows, in a friendly manner thanks to its creators, how to replace the worn brake pads with the new ones you have purchased. To begin, lift the car and remove the wheel, then proceed to remove the safety cap that hides the support screw of the caliper, and unscrew it along with the other screws that hold the caliper to the disc.

Open the caliper by levering it, thereby removing the pad to be replaced and changing it with the new one. At this point, you can start reassembling everything, but first, ensure that the caliper operates correctly by pressing the brake pedal with the ignition on. The video refers to the Fiat Punto model.

The tools required are a screwdriver and a special key (Torx), which you will likely find in the tool compartment in the boot.
