Replacing the rear brake pads is a DIY maintenance task that can be easily performed, but be cautious when lifting the vehicle and ensure you have the correct tool to rotate and retract the caliper piston. Once the car is positioned on suitable axle stands and the rear wheel is removed, disconnect the external retaining spring of the caliper, remove the protective caps from the caliper mounting pins, and unscrew them to take off the caliper.

Extract the old pads and retract the piston: if you do not have the proper tool, you can use a clamp to hold the piston while rotating it with a pair of adjustable pliers. At this point, insert the new pads, reposition the caliper, secure it with the relevant pins, apply the caps and the external spring before remounting the wheel.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
