How to Replace the Rear Brakes on an Opel Zafira

Model: Vauxhall Zafira MK 2, A05, Zafira B - Years 2005-2011
Part: Brake pads

First, remove the wheel on which you will perform the replacement. Ensure your vehicle is lifted and supported on appropriate stands. Next, loosen the lower bolt of the piston assembly as shown in the video, followed by the upper bolt. This allows you to remove the piston assembly after pressing it fully in. Now, you can also extract the front and rear brake pads. To replace the disc, unscrew the bolts securing the pads' supports and remove the bolt fixing the disc as shown in the video. Finally, retrace the steps described for reassembly.
