How to Replace the Front Brake Pads on a Fiat Panda

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

To replace the front brake pads on a Fiat Panda, park the car on a flat surface, lift it safely, and remove the affected wheel. Locate the brake caliper and unscrew the guide bolts to lift it off the disc, ensuring it does not remain suspended by the brake fluid line. Remove the old pads and check the condition of the disc. Using a suitable tool, slowly push back the caliper piston to create the necessary space for the new pads, while checking the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Insert the new components in the correct position, reposition the caliper, and tighten the fixings. Refit the wheel and repeat the operation on the other side. Before driving off, press the brake pedal several times until it feels firm and check the fluid level.
