First of all, you need to remove the wheels, in the same way, that you normally remove a wheel to change it. The parts to be replaced are located behind the wheels. After removing the wheels, you will see the brake caliper, fixed with the bolts and equipped with dust caps. Remove the dust caps with a ring spanner and loosen the bolts holding the brake caliper.

First insert the new brake discs into the wheel hub, then attach the pads to the brake mounts. It is advisable to first lubricate the rear part of the pads with the lubricant, which can be purchased from a workshop or a specialized shop. The liquid contributes to the better mobility of this part of the car and avoids the friction of the brake components. If the brake pads are carefully prepared, you will have no difficulty inserting the brake discs into the holder. Please note that the pads are used to tighten the brake disc. For the operation of the optimal and safe braking system consult the user manual to fix everything to the right degree of tightening torque. Using a different tightening torque than the one prescribed can have a negative impact on brake behavior and also on vehicle safety.
