How to Remove the Front Brake Pads of a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Brake rotors

How to remove the front brake pads of a Fiat Punto? Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height. Use a socket spanner to remove the bolts and take off the wheel. Then, start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads. Fit the new brake pads with all associated bolts; tighten the caliper bracket to the disc, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are tightened properly. Before fitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper if necessary. Refit the wheel with the bolts at the end of the replacement.
