Introduction
Changing the rear brake pads on a SEAT Ibiza IV 6J (90hp)
The operation is quite simple but you need a piston pusher, if you don't have one I advise you not to do the operation.
-
-
With a diamond jack
-
The vehicle must be on a level surface
-
Place the diamond jack under the location provided at the level of the underbody
-
-
-
Using the crank, turn in the tightening direction to lift the vehicle
-
Raise enough to slide a jack stand under the vehicle
-
-
-
With a hydraulic jack
-
Place the hydraulic jack under the location provided at the level of the underbody
-
Push the lever down to raise the jack
-
Raise enough to slide a jack stand under the vehicle
-
-
-
Place the candle under the cradle or a reinforced point of the car
-
Adjust the candle to the height of the latter
-
Lower the vehicle onto the jack stand and remove the jack
-
-
-
Replace the jack (diamond or hydraulic) under the underbody and raise the car slightly to remove the jack stand.
-
-
-
Make sure you have all the necessary tools before removing the wheels.
-
A piston pusher (mandatory for rear brakes)
-
New pads
-
A 15 flat wrench and a 13 flat wrench
-
Jack + candles
-
Brake cleaner
-
-
-
Sense of sight
-
Brake caliper
-
Above the caliper you can see the hexagonal screw head and its nut.
-
There is a second one at the other end of the stirrup
-
-
-
Place a 13mm flat wrench or socket on the screw head
-
Place the 15mm flat wrench on the nut
-
Loosen the screw by blocking the rotation using the flat wrench
-
-
-
Remove the screws
-
Remove the caliper using a screwdriver
-
Be careful not to pull the brake hoses too much when dropping the caliper.
-
-
-
Remove the old brake pads
-
If your pads are very worn, your piston may be almost fully extended and you will not be able to put the caliper back on with the new pads.
-
-
-
Check the size and shape of the pads to make sure they are the same model.
-
-
-
Open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir.
-
Open the brake fluid jar and place absorbent paper underneath in case the fluid overflows
-
-
-
The rear brake pistons cannot be pushed back by simple pressure, you have to push and turn at the same time.
-
The piston has two notches to make it easier to turn.
-
Push the piston back as far as it will go without forcing it.
-
-
-
Place the pads on the caliper bracket
-
Replace the caliper on its support
-
Install the new screws supplied with the pads.
-
Reassembly in reverse order
-
After starting the vehicle, press the brake pedal several times
-
Relatively simple maintenance operation, although care must be taken as it involves the brakes.

Seat ibiza tdi 1.6l 2013: To push the rear brake piston back on the right and left side, in which direction should you turn? Thank you
From memory I think you have to turn it clockwise. In any case you should feel a slight resistance when you turn the piston pusher.
