In this video, you will learn how to remove the brake discs and pads from an Opel Astra. First, remove the wheel by unscrewing the bolts and lift the vehicle: then use a thin screwdriver to extract and detach the spring.

Now, using a punch, remove the rear screws to take off the brake caliper with its pads. Use an 18 mm socket to dismantle the remaining part of the caliper and with a punch, remove the screws around the brake disc: at this point, remove it and fit the new disc with the new pads!

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.
