Obtain the original replacement discs, then lift the vehicle and secure it before removing the wheel. Open the cap of the brake fluid reservoir.

Next, remove the caliper by moving it away. Remove the caliper support bracket using a spanner by unscrewing the two rear screws.

Using a plastic tool, remove the brake pads by pulling them from their seat. Install the new pads, paying attention to the direction of rotation stamped on the body.

If available, before removing the inner pad, it is necessary to disconnect the electrical contact via its connector. Remove the second pad and install the new one, reconnecting the wires.

Refit the spring and the two clips. Refit the wheel.

Check the brake fluid level is correct. Reset the position of the pistons by pressing the brake pedal.
