How to Change the Rear Brake Pads on Opel Insignia

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

How do you change the rear brake pads on the Insignia? Lift the car with a jack and remove the rear wheel. Unscrew the caliper locking bolt, then remove the caliper from the wheel support. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the wheel hub caliper, then install the new pads inside the brake caliper. Refit the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc: tighten all the bolts and reattach the wheel at the end of the maintenance. Replace all rear brake pads and, if worn, also the front brakes. Use identical parts in size and type.
