Replacing Car Brake Pads

Model: (Various brands) Various - Years 1991-1998
Part: Brake pads

The efficiency of your car's braking system is crucial for ensuring the safety of the driver and other road users. This guide shows the essential steps to replace the brake pads, components that require careful attention. First, turn the steering wheel towards the side you wish to work on, making the brake calipers more accessible. Next, remove the wheel rim after unscrewing the wheel bolts. Using a 9mm hex key, unscrew the bolts that secure the caliper to the hub at the rear. Once the bolts are removed, you can slide the caliper off the disc without disconnecting it from the brake system pipes. To extract the worn pads, press on them, using leverage from the outside in the space between the pads and the caliper.
