Replacing the Brake Pads

Model: Fiat Stilo MK 1 - Years 2001-2010
Part: Brake pads

First, remove the front wheel and turn the steering to gain easy access to the work area. Put on a good pair of gloves and remove the two pins holding the brake caliper using a 13mm spanner. Then, disconnect the brake warning cable, which is attached to the outer pad, and remove the caliper.

Next, you need to retract the piston that presses on the pads to allow for the insertion of the new pads.

Finally, insert the new pads and reassemble everything, remembering to reconnect the brake warning cable. You can also take this opportunity to bleed the brake fluid from the line by opening the appropriate valve to ensure no air bubbles remain.

Removing the Front Arm Bushing of a Hyundai Getz

Let's look at removing the front arm bushing of a Hyundai Getz. First, place the car on a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner, then remove the wheel. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the lower securing bolt of the arm and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub, then unscrew the bolts on the upper part of the arm (as shown in the video). Remove the bushing from the bolt housing. Always compare the parts to be replaced with the new ones; if they are suitable, you can install them. Start the installation of the new part: fit the new bushing and tighten all bolts to the specified torque. Double-check the correct tightening of the parts. Refit the wheel to complete the job.
