How to change the front brake pads of the Opel Corsa D

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Brake pads

To change the front brake pads of the Opel Corsa D, it is necessary to turn off the car, unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, loosen the wheel nuts and lift the car at the front. Retract the piston by inserting a flat screwdriver into the caliper, then with a 13mm wrench, remove the 13mm bolts, hang the caliper on the shock absorber springs, and remove the old worn pads. Clean the seat with a wire brush and replace the anti-noise. In order to avoid strange noises on the new pads, apply copper grease to the supports, and insert the new pads (the one with the wear sensor goes on the inside). Reassemble the caliper: The bolts should be tightened to 35 Nm. For the first 50/80 km, try to avoid sudden braking; if the brake fluid level is now too high, remove the excess.
