Changing Front Discs and Pads on Renault Trafic II

Model: Renault Trafic MK 2 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Brake system

In this video, see how to change the front discs and pads on a Renault Trafic II: open the bonnet and remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, lift the vehicle and remove the wheel; turn the disc, using a flat screwdriver, push the piston of the caliper back in, unscrew the two caliper bolts and disconnect the brake hose from the bracket. Secure the caliper to the spring of the shock absorber, avoiding tension on the hose; remove the old pads. Unscrew the caliper bracket bolts, remove the torx screws that secure the disc to the axle and take it off. Clean the axle with a wire brush and apply copper grease, clean the new disc with brake cleaner, mount the disc and screw in the torx 30 screw; lubricate the pads' supports with copper grease to prevent squeaking, insert them into the bracket and reposition the calipers, tightening the screws to 35 Nm with a torque wrench. Reconnect the brake hose and repeat on the other side. Refit the wheels and lower the vehicle. Pump the brake pedal (with the engine off) to reposition the pads. Avoid hard braking for about 50 miles.
