Introduction

We will replace the brake discs. To do this, you will need the following tools: 1 jack (bottle jack, hydraulic jack, etc.) or lifting system, 1 ratchet with a 17mm socket (or 1 "wheel lever" cross wrench), 1 19mm or 3/4 wrench, 1 mallet, 1 multi-grip pliers, 1 new disc for Fiorino (and a set of pads). It is recommended to also change the brake pads when replacing the discs.

  1. 
Raise the vehicle using a jack or hydraulic system. Precautions for use: Make sure the vehicle is on level ground, with the handbrake on.
