Replacement of Front Brake Pads

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra B, MK 2 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Brake pads

Lift the vehicle on a ramp or suitable axle stands; then remove the front wheel, take off the protective caps from the brake caliper mounting pins, and remove them. Release the retaining spring of the pads and remove the caliper by extracting the old pads. Retract the caliper piston to create the necessary space for the new pads. Insert the new pads, reposition the caliper, the retaining spring, and tighten the caliper mounting pins, reapplying the caps. Be cautious during the first braking.
