How to Replace the Brake Pads on a Fiat Panda?

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

As shown in the video, once you have purchased the replacement pads, you need to loosen the wheel bolts. Do this before inserting the jack, as you won't be able to do it afterwards. Remove the bolts, position the jack, lift the car, and remove the wheel. At this point, unscrew the other two bolts inside the wheel using a 15 mm spanner, turning it towards you. Release the retaining pin of the pads and remove the pads themselves. Insert the new ones and, as shown in the video, remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. Reinsert the retaining pin on the pads and perform all operations in reverse.
