Before you start, engage the handbrake and put the first gear in your Opel Insignia, then lift the front of the car. Begin by removing the front wheel by unscrewing the relevant fixing bolts, then take it out of its housing. Next, remove the brake caliper by unscrewing the relevant fixing bolts.

This will give you access to the brake pads. Now, disengage and remove them, completing the disassembly.

To fit the new brake pads and reassemble everything, simply follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
