How to Change Brake Pads and Discs

Model: Nissan Primera MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Brake rotors

This guide shows how to independently replace the brake pads on your car. The pads play an important role as they are used to brake the brake disc attached to the wheel. It is important to replace them because worn pads have a lower contact surface with the disc, which reduces braking quality. The first step is to put the car on a support. Then, push the piston of the brake cylinder. To remove a brake caliper, you need to remove the clips and springs to extract the brake pads from the caliper.
