Replacing Brake Pads on Volkswagen Transporter

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Brake pads

Removing worn brake pads? Let's remove the brake pads from the Volkswagen Transporter. Lift the Transporter with a jack or column lift, then remove the wheel. Once the wheel is off, unscrew the locking bolt of the brake caliper and remove it from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to remove the pads from the brake caliper. Fit the new pads into the brake caliper. Reattach the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc, tighten all the bolts, and refit the wheel. Prepare to perform the same operations on the other calipers present on the vehicle. Bleed the brake caliper if necessary.
