Part: Brake rotors

How to remove the brake disc and brake pads from the front of a Fiat Panda. Position the car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Loosen the bolts with a socket spanner 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. Unscrew the bolts and remove the brake disc. Fit the new brake pads with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are tightened properly.
