Remove the wheel and detach the caliper. Take off the caliper support bracket using a spanner by unscrewing the two rear bolts.

Unscrew the two retaining bolts of the disc while holding it steady. If the disc is stuck, use a rubber mallet and tap it until it completely comes off the hub. Clean the support thoroughly.

After a proper clean, refit the disc aligning the fixing holes. Use new bolts for the fixing if possible.

Refit the bracket, cleaning and lubricating the fixing bolts, then tighten them with a torque wrench. Refit the new pads, realign the piston, and reattach the caliper and 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.
