Replacing brake pads and discs on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Brake pads

Remove the wheel cover of the affected wheel and loosen the wheel bolts. Lift the car with a jack and secure it safely. Completely unscrew the previously loosened bolts and remove the wheel from its hub. If you are working on the front right wheel, turn the steering to the right for better access to the caliper; otherwise, turn it the other way. Using a suitable tool, remove the pin from the caliper pin and then remove the pin itself. At this point, you can extract the brake pads and replace them. Continue following the tutorial for the removal of the discs.
