Changing the front brake pads on a Renault Clio 2

Securing the vehicle: removing and refitting the wheel

Slightly loosen the upper screw of the caliper then remove the lower screw using the 17 flat wrench and the 13 ratchet.

Rotate the stirrup upwards

Slide the brake pads off

Check carefully that the new brake pads are identical to the old ones.

Replace the new brake pads in their housing.

Push the caliper piston inwards using a pair of pliers so that the new pads pass through (the old ones are worn, so thinner than the new ones)

Reassemble everything in reverse order. Taking care to pass the butterfly-shaped springs located on the pads, below the caliper when reassembling.

Do not forget to pump the brake pedal after putting everything back together until it stiffens, then top up the brake fluid if necessary.
