Replacement of Front Brake Pads

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

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheels; lever between the pads and caliper to retract the piston and facilitate removal; unscrew the caliper fixing bolts to remove it from its housing (you can also unscrew just the lower bolt and rotate the caliper upwards) and extract the old pads by disconnecting the wear sensor cable; then fit the new pads, reposition the caliper and tighten the fixing bolts; pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance and take care during the first few braking actions.
