How to Change Brake Pads on Suzuki Samurai

Model: Suzuki Samurai JB, JA, Sj40, Sj30 - Years 1989-2003
Part: Brake pads

Need to replace the front brake pads on a Suzuki Samurai? Here's how to remove and change them. Lift the car to a comfortable height using a jack. Undo the wheel bolts with a socket spanner; unscrew the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to remove the brake pads (release the pressure on the caliper). Fit the new brake pads with all the associated bolts in the caliper. Tighten all bolts properly. Before refitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper. Refit the wheel and remove the other brake pads if they are worn.
