To remove the rear brake pads from an Opel Astra, position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Unscrew the bolts with a socket or air drill and remove the wheel.

Next, start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads, then fit the new brake pads with all the associated bolts.

Tighten the caliper bracket to the disc, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are tightened properly. Finally, refit the wheel with the bolts.
