How to Replace Brake Pads

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Brake pads

This video illustrates how to replace the brake pads on a Renault Clio. First, remove the rear wheel after positioning the vehicle on a jack. Once you locate the brake caliper, use a 12-13 mm spanner and another 16-17 mm spanner to loosen the bolts and free the caliper. In this case, the pads are almost completely worn, and if not replaced, the friction could even damage the discs. Before fitting the new pads, you must expand the pistons inside the caliper (using a rewind tool). After inserting the new pads, retrace your steps. Finally, pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure contact between the new pads and the cylinder.
