How to Replace the Front Brake Pads on a Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Brake pads

This is a really simple and quick task that can take about 5 minutes for the less experienced, simply by following this guide. Release the bonnet and open it, then remove the cap for the brake fluid. Now, remove the relevant wheel and raise your vehicle on a pair of axle stands for easier access. You will need to retract the piston to its innermost position using a screwdriver. Unscrew the two bolts located at the back of the brake to comfortably remove the piston and then replace the pads.
