Replacing Front Brake Pads

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Brake pads

Loosen the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle securely. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel. Using a ratchet spanner, unscrew the two bolts securing the caliper. Check the brake fluid level and ensure it is not at maximum. Remove the brake pads by pulling them from their housing. Install the new pads, paying attention to the rotation direction stamped on the body. Reposition the caliper piston and refit the caliper. Refit the wheel. Double-check the brake fluid level.
