tutorial - Swift - DIY brake pads change
« : 11.Oct.2010, 11:55:47 p.m. »
from here a  very good tutorial:

you need:

1. Brake pads  :D
2. 17 handle wrench
3. a jack
4. 13 wrench
5. 15 kwrenchey
6. a skrewdriver

Estimated time: 10 minutes for each wheel

1. un skrew a little the studs, use the jack to raise the car.. and the wheel and un skrew all studs to take the wheel down


2. Turn the wheel to the maximum(to the right for the right wheel to be able to easyly reach the caliper


3. Use the screw driver to push back the brake pistons so that the new brake pads will enter easily  Put the skrewdriver between the piston and the old brake pad and move left-right so that the piston slides back. The effort to slide it back must not be too high; it will be higher in case you take out the caliper first and second, try to slide them back.



4. After you pushed the pistons enough, open the interior 13 skrews and hold them against with a 15 wrench



5. Pull the caliper against you


6. Remove the old brake pads, put the new ones in place


7. Place back the caliper, skrew the 2 - 13s


The brake pads:



Warning : Before driving push the brake pedal few times !! Do not force the braking the first 100 kms !!!
