How to Replace the Front Brake Discs on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Brake pads

How do you replace the front brake pads on a Fiat Panda? Position the car on a column lift or use a jack, raising it to a comfortable height for work. Unscrew the bolts with a socket wrench or air drill and remove the wheel. Next, start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads, then fit the new brake pads with all the associated bolts, tightening the caliper bracket to the disc. After that, refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are tightened properly. Before fitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper if necessary. Finally, refit the wheel with the bolts.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
