Replacing Brake Pads

Model: Renault Laguna MK 2, Laguna 2, X74 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake rotors

When the brakes wear down, the oil level in the reservoir drops as the caliper pistons are nearly at their limit. To replace the pads and discs, lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the wheel. Then, unscrew the caliper mounting bolts, disengage the retaining spring of the pads and remove them. To retract the caliper piston, rotate it: it is advisable to perform this operation with the appropriate tool that allows for uniform movement of the piston. Once the piston is retracted, fit the new pads and the corresponding spring; reposition the caliper and tighten the mounting bolts.
