Introduction
This tutorial aims to help you replace the front brake pads on Renault Scénic 3 - 1.9 DCi FAP 131 CV
-
-
The wheel can be placed under the rocker panel. Start with the driver's side wheel. For better accessibility, rotate the disc.
-
Remove the covers with a screwdriver , behind the brake caliper, the 2 plastic covers protecting the screw heads (6-sided keys): 1 cover at the top and 1 cover at the bottom
-
-
-
Push your piston back until it compresses (using the piston pusher)
-
Loosen the piston pusher
-
-
-
Now you need to use the screwdriver to shift the metal spring.
-
This will allow you to remove the brake caliper with a pad.
-
Extract the spring very carefully.
-
-
-
Carefully remove the caliper : one pad comes with the caliper and the other remains facing the brake disc.
-
-
-
Be careful when you remove the pad that remained in the caliper.
-
Before replacing the pads, you must compress the piston again otherwise you will not be able to put them back in place.
-
Check the correspondence between the old and new pads
-
Clean the caliper and disc using a brush.
-
Reposition the new brake pads.

Whether there are 4 or 5 studs is not important since the caliper system is the same….
Works very well on Grand Scénic 3 2.0 Dci 160 Jade from 2010/02. Remember to check the brake level in the reservoir and empty it with a syringe when it rises when you push the piston back.
Hello, the tutorial is the right one, I changed my front brake pads and it's very easy. On the other hand, in the photo of the front hub, there are only 4 tapped holes to fix the wheel while there are 5 on the Scenic 3. Otherwise everything is good.

Pretty clear. I tested it on Scénic III phase 2 from 2013. Be careful, you need a 7-point hex key and not a 6-point key.
Good evening, I think this tutorial is not for a Scenic 3 but for a Scenic 2. The middle of a Scenic 3 has 5 studs for fixing the wheel. Sébastien.
