How to Change the Pads by Removing Calipers and Discs

In this video, you will learn how to replace the brake pads and how to remove calipers and discs. First, remove the cover from the wheel bolts.

Using a spanner, loosen all the bolts counterclockwise, lift the car with a jack, and remove the bolts from the wheel. Take off the wheel to expose the disc and its caliper.

On the left side of the caliper, you will notice two bolts; once identified, unscrew them counterclockwise. Remove the bolts and set them aside.

Now you can slide off the brake caliper, resting it gently to avoid pulling or twisting the attached hose. Disconnect the electrical connector for the brake sensor.

Once the caliper is removed, detach the bracket securing the disc using a hammer. Now insert another bracket, then disconnect the brake sensor behind the hub and fit the new one. Next, remove the 17mm caliper mounted behind the hub by unscrewing the bolts that hold it to the hub; you will find two bolts on the side towards the inside of the car. Now only the brake disc remains, which can be pulled towards you. You can now insert the new disc and the wheel centring pins.

Refit the calipers with the new pads following the reverse procedure. Secure the bracket with the retaining clip and screw in the bolts as before.

Once the brakes are reassembled, you can put the wheel back in place and screw in the bolts. Finally, replace the hub cover and lower the car to the ground.
