Before starting any operation, open the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, then remove the rear wheel and, at the same time, lift the car on a workshop ramp or suitable axle stands. Separate the brake pads and disconnect the caliper.

Remove the following components: brake caliper, pads, and caliper bracket. Now that the brake disc is free from the components covering it, you can extract it from its seat using a rubber mallet.

Before installing the new brake disc, clean the surrounding components using suitable products, then follow the same procedure in reverse order to reassemble everything.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
