Here’s how to replace the front brake pads on a Nissan Qashqai. Open the bonnet and unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, remove any covers from the front wheel nuts and loosen the nuts.

Lift the car with a jack and finish unscrewing the bolts, then remove the wheel. Rotate the disc outward for better access; using a 15mm spanner, loosen the upper bolt of the caliper and completely unscrew the lower one. Use a sturdy screwdriver to pry the pads away from the disc, rotate the caliper upwards, and remove the old pads.

Take the new pads, placing the anti-noise shim and wear indicator, clean the seat with compressed air, and correctly insert the new pads into their seat. Position the caliper and tighten the two bolts, straighten the disc, reassemble the wheel, tightening its bolts, lower the car, and finish tightening the nuts.

Repeat the same operations for the other wheel and finally close the brake fluid reservoir.
