On the Renault Clio, the work begins by showing the new brake kit, then it quickly moves to the car: the rear wheel is removed and the vehicle is lifted for safety. Before dismantling the system, the video shows a step inside the cabin with the handbrake lever, as the rear is a point that can affect when you need to rotate and free the brake assembly.

With the wheel removed, the Renault Clio enters the "mechanical" part: the rear caliper is addressed with a wrench and the fasteners are unscrewed, allowing the caliper to be moved and the set of pads to be removed. The work continues on the caliper bracket and the disc area: the video clearly shows the disc in view and the operations to free and replace it. Before reassembling, the new disc and a new component/element of the kit are shown (placed on the bench alongside the box), then it returns to the vehicle to close everything in order.

The disc and supports are reinstalled, then the caliper is repositioned and everything is secured with final tightening; the video also shows the torque specification with a torque wrench, emphasizing that the final tightening should not be done "by feel." In the concluding part, the brake fluid reservoir cap in the engine compartment is shown on the Renault Clio, because when the pistons are retracted, the level can change.

Immediately after, the final check is seen from the driver's seat, with the brake pedal being pressed to restore the system before putting the car back on the road.
