How to change the rear brake pads on the Opel Insigna

Model: Vauxhall Insigna MK 1, Insigna A - Years 2008-2017
Part: Brake pads

How do you change the rear brake pads of the Insigna? We lift the car with a jack and remove the rear wheel. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. Using a screwdriver, we remove the pads from the wheel hub caliper, we go to mount the new pads inside the brake caliper. We mount the brake caliper with the support on the brake disc: we tighten all the pins and mount the wheel at the end of the maintenance. We replace all the rear brake pads and, if worn, also the front brakes. We assemble pieces of the same size and type.
