How to Replace Brake Pads

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

This guide shows how to replace the front brake pads, a relatively simple task to do at home.
Start by removing the wheel; loosen the bolts and then lift the car onto a jack, proceeding to take off the wheel.
Using a 13mm and a 17mm spanner, as shown in the video, remove the brake pad support and take out the old pads.
Position the piston using a clamp as demonstrated in the guide, insert the new pads, and close the caliper. Refit the wheel, and you're done.
The video demonstrates this procedure on a Renault Clio 2, but the process is similar for all vehicles with disc brakes.
