Has the brake wear warning light just come on? Don’t wait any longer, replace them! Let’s see how to do it together. Once the car is lifted on the side where you want to start replacing the pads, remove the wheel and use a spanner to unscrew the inner bolts of the caliper.

Once removed and the caliper is free, pull it out and proceed to remove the worn old pads. To remove the discs, unscrew the inner bolts and the 2 outer bolts, then gently tap the inner side with a hammer as shown in the video while turning the disc so it separates from the wheel hub. It is advisable not to hit too hard to avoid damage.

Fit the new disc, re-tighten both the outer and inner nuts, take the new pads, attach the metal parts taken from the old pads as shown in the video, and reinstall them in their seats, ensuring the side with the round marks faces towards the inside of the car, aligning with the brake pistons.

Reinstall the caliper, re-tighten the bolts, and remount the wheel.

Maintenance has been completed on the WRX model.
