How to Replace Brake Pads

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 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.

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
