Video tutorial

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the wheels. Start with the front brakes by removing the brake caliper, the associated bracket, and then the disc.

Clean the disc seat on the hub with a metal brush, apply grease, and install the new disc after cleaning it of protective oil. If you have a dial gauge, you can also measure any runout of the disc. Complete the installation of the brake pads and caliper by lubricating the sliding parts.

For the rear brakes, remove the drum, replace the shoes while paying attention to the springs, and clean the inside of the drum with sandpaper before reinstalling it. Pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance and be cautious during the initial braking.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
