useful precision:
the size of the allen key needed to remove the upper part of the caliper to change the pads is 7, not standard and often not supplied in allen key sets;
remember to check that you have one before disassembling.
good tutorial!

I recommend having a syringe and a container to remove liquid from the jar when pushing the pistons back (with a clamp + wooden wedge) otherwise it will overflow.

Before pushing the piston back, I advise you to open the brake fluid reservoir to make it easier to push.
Be careful, however, to check the liquid level before and after the operation.

Great tutorial. A small detail: the discs in the photo are protected with anti-rust paint. The first brakes will make noise. A little blow with sandpaper to avoid a customer return dissatisfied me. Otherwise it is super well explained

Thank you, the tutorial is very detailed, I just changed the pads with new ones (Bosch) ordered from Oscaro as well as the discs (TRW). The hardest part is putting the spring back in place, I found!
