Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheels; before unscrewing the retaining bolts of the brake caliper, use a screwdriver to pry between the brake pads to retract the piston and facilitate removal (to make the operation easier, you can loosen the bleed screw and connect a tube to collect the fluid).

Once the caliper is removed, take out the old pads, then remove the brake caliper bracket, unscrew the retaining bolt of the disc from the hub, and take it off the hub itself (some hammering may be necessary).

Proceed in reverse order for the installation of the new disc and 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.
