Skoda Fabia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Fabia Mark1, 6Y - Years 1999-2007
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Change the brake discs of your car

In this guide, step by step, I will give all the useful information on how to replace the brake disc in the car in the best possible way. Both the braking system and the vehicle discs are of primary importance to ensure that the vehicle itself is as efficient as possible, for the benefit of the safety of both the driver and passengers. This procedure can also be carried out independently and without having to resort to a mechanic. First of all, you will need to turn the steering wheel on your side, so that the disc caliper is facing you. Jack up the car and remove the rim after removing the wheel bolts. Take a hex wrench and unscrew all the bolts that hold the caliper firmly to the frame on the rear side. Then put the car on a flat surface and engage the gear to lock the front wheels. Later, it will be possible to remove what is the brake caliper. At this point, only the caliper bracket will remain with the brake pads inside. Remove the latter using a suitable flat screwdriver, paying particular attention not to damage the discs. Then unscrew the bolts that hold the bracket firmly to the hub. Set them aside, as they will be useful for the reassembly phase. At this point, only the brake disc will remain and will need to be replaced.
