Video tutorial

Lift the vehicle with a jack and remove the front wheel; unscrew the lower retaining pin of the brake caliper from the bracket and rotate it upwards; then remove the old pads and retract the caliper piston by levering with a screwdriver (using a C-clamp is recommended) to accommodate the new pads; once the new pads are in place, reposition the brake caliper and tighten the retaining pin. Before inserting the new pads, it may be useful to apply copper grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing.
