How to Replace the Front Brake Discs on an Opel Corsa C

Let's see how to change the brake discs on an Opel Corsa C: first, unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. Remove the front wheels.

Then lift the front of the vehicle with a jack and secure it with axle stands. Do not rely too much on your jack.

Clean the brake caliper with a wire brush and then spray it with WD-40. Separate the brake pads and unscrew the caliper mount, then remove it. Use a wire to secure the caliper to the suspension to prevent the system from depressurising. Check the brake caliper support, guide pin, and dust boots.

Clean them and replace if necessary. Use a crowbar to remove the pads.

Clean the brake caliper support with the wire brush, then spray with WD-40. Unscrew the brake caliper mount and remove the bracket from the caliper. Clean the brake disc fastening elements with the usual brush and WD-40. Unscrew the brake disc mounts.

Clean the hub with the brush, then spray it with copper grease. Now you can install the brake disc, following the video instructions for tightening.

Before reinstalling it, clean the caliper from dirt and dust, tightening it according to the video instructions. Press the brake caliper piston using a rewind tool.
