How to Replace the Front Brake Pads of a Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon Y1, Ypsilon 1, MK 1, 840 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Brake pads

Before starting, lift the front of your Lancia Ypsilon. Begin by unscrewing and removing the bolts securing the front wheel, then remove the wheel itself. Next, unscrew and remove the bolts securing the brake caliper to the hub, then move it slightly away. Once done, retract the caliper pistons using a flathead screwdriver. At this point, unclip and remove the front brake pads, completing the disassembly. To fit the new pads, follow these instructions in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
