Today, we will see how to replace the brake pads on our Seat Altea. First, remove the wheel (after raising the car). Now, remove the caliper by unscrewing the bolts that hold it securely to the discs.

Once done, you can pull out the used pads. Before inserting the new ones, push the pistons back to their resting position using a tool.

Now you can insert the new pads, refit the caliper by tightening the bolts you removed earlier, and finally, remount the wheel.
