a question for renault experts re front brakes lol

[pogo]

wrong forum i know but was out in my wee mums clio earlier and brake pads are goosed! can anyone advise me if its a straight forward job to replace front brake pads on ?06 plate clio 1.2 campus?

[Critch]

Yes really easy job

Be ware that even tho it's on an 06 plate being a campus it's probably got the mk2 brakes.

Youll need a 7mm Allen key to do the calipers bolts

ah good stuff mate ill have s go ,was just a bit wary as my toolkit is basic to say the least lol

If its only the pads your changing all need to do is
Jack it up an support it
Remove wheels
Remove rubber bungs from end of caliper sliders
unclip wear indicator plug of fitted
Undo the 7mm bolt which also acts as the slider
move caliper out the way
swap pads over
carefully push piston back.( I tend to just put hammer handle into piston an then push against my shoulder)
clean up sliders
Rebuild

Tools needed should only be
Wheel brace
jack and axle stands
hammer, g clamp or similar to push piston back
7mm Allen key

Hope that helps

spot on mate cheers,was wondering if i required rewind tool but clio of this vintage is obviously pretty basic lol

[lee gsi]

Front brake pads never need the tool to wind them back.

[Critch]

Only require rewind tool on rear calipers mate.

All a rewind tool does it make life bit easier pushing them back.

Rear brakes on the clio a **** lol
