Introduction
Intervention carried out on Opel mokka 1.6 CDTI 4x2 16V S&S 110 hp.
The new discs that will be fitted are BOSCH - 0 986 479 645, they are coated so there will be no need to spray brake cleaner on them before fitting them.
The new pads that will be fitted are BOSCH - 0 986 494 435.
For this vehicle, I have neither a user manual nor a technical review, therefore I do not know the capacities or the tightening torques.
-
-
First, place chocks at the front and back of your front wheels to make sure the car doesn't move, then release the handbrake.
-
-
-
-
The caliper is fixed by 2 10mm screws.
-
The bottom screw will come to rest against the hose, just pull on the slide to finish unscrewing it.
-
-
-
The caliper must not rest on the brake hose and the brake hose must not be pinched.
-
Using a large flat-head screwdriver, remove the bracket and place it on a wooden block.
-
-
-
Remove the fixing screws with the 15mm socket.
-
Using a T30 Torx bit, remove the retaining screw and then remove the disc.
-
-
-
Using a wire brush, clean the brake disc seat and threads.
-
Spray brake cleaner on the flange and hub.

Old coins

New parts
-
The pad with the metal tab will go on the piston side.
-
The new pads do not contain the metal clips, so I will reuse the old ones that remained on the caliper bracket.
-
The new discs do not contain the retaining screws, so I will reuse the old ones.
-
Brush off all the screws you removed and then apply a little regular thread lock to the two caliper bracket screws.
-
-
-
Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
-
Using a wire brush, clean the caliper bracket and caliper, avoiding the rubber bellows.
-
-
-
By pushing the piston back the brake fluid level will rise. Make sure it does not overflow by removing the excess with a syringe.
-
Using your tool, push the piston back as far as it will go.
-
The rear caliper piston is screwed in, so a specific tool is required. A simple clamp will not do the trick.
-
-
-
Start by screwing in the bottom screw and then rotate the bracket so that you can screw in the top screw.
-
The rest of the reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
-
-
-
Once reassembly is complete, press the brake pedal several times and raise the handbrake several times to bring the pads into contact with the discs.
-
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If there is too much, remove the excess using a syringe.
-
The level should be between min and max.
-
To break in new pads, do not brake hard during the first 200 km.
-
The effectiveness of the first braking actions may be reduced.
