Guide to Installing Brake Pads

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Brake pads

The following guide shows a simple method for replacing your car's brake pads, requiring a bit of patience and time, without needing to take the car to a mechanic. First, remove the car wheel and lift the vehicle with the jack. You can then begin to disassemble the pads by removing the retaining clip. Use an Allen key to unscrew the two bolts, working between the caliper and disc to leverage the caliper for easy removal. The pads have a specific orientation for fitting. Once the pads are in place and the caliper is positioned in its housing, reattach the hex bolts.
