To replace the front brake pads with the attached disc on a Volkswagen Polo, follow these steps: Lift the car using a column lift or jack to the desired height. Next, remove the wheel using a socket wrench or air impact gun along with the respective bolts.

Unscrew the locking bolt of the brake caliper, remove it from the wheel hub, and use a screwdriver to take out the pads to be replaced from the wheel hub caliper. Remove the brake caliper and then the disc.

Install the new disc and the new pads onto the caliper, then refit the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc along with all the previously removed parts.
