Brake Pad Replacement

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Brake pads

Lift the vehicle and secure it. Remove the wheel and detach the caliper. Remove the caliper support bracket using a spanner by unscrewing the two rear screws. Unscrew the two retaining screws of the brake disc while holding it steady. If the disc is stuck, use a rubber mallet and tap it until it is completely free from the hub. Clean the support thoroughly. Refit the disc, aligning the fixing holes. Use new screws for fastening if possible. Reattach the bracket, cleaning and lubricating the fixing screws, then tighten them with a torque wrench. Refit the new pads, realign the piston, and reattach the caliper and wheel.
