How to change the front brake pads on the Renault Kangoo II

Model: Renault Kangoo MK 2, FC, FW - Years 2007-2021
Part: Brake pads

Let's see how to change the front brake pads on a Renault Kangoo II: we start by opening the hood and removing the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, then we lift the car and remove the front wheels. We push back, using a flathead screwdriver, the brake piston, then we unscrew the caliper bolts, using a 13mm wrench. We check the condition of the rubber protection and the caliper bolt; if necessary, we will replace them. We remove the brake caliper and secure it to the suspension spring, so that the flexible hose of the brake line is not damaged. We remove the worn pads, remove the anti-noise springs, clean the pad housing thoroughly with a wire brush, and reassemble the new anti-noise springs. Now we reassemble the new pads; detach the caliper and screw the caliper bolts back in from both sides, after which we can reassemble the wheel and repeat the operation on the other side. Then we can lower the car and put the cap back on the brake fluid reservoir.
