The first step to replace the front brake pads of the Opel Corsa is to unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. Now, you can lift the car and remove the front wheels.

The next step is to clean and unscrew the brake caliper attachment using a 13mm socket. With a foot, slightly separate the brake pads and remove the brake caliper and the pads.

Now, clean the caliper support and press it. Apply lubricant and insert the new pads. Refit the brake caliper and secure it. Refit the right wheel and perform the same operation on the left pads.
