I am experiencing some heavy vibration when braking in my Vauxhall Combo Life and I suspect it's time to replace the brake pads. But I've never done this before and I'm not sure where to start. Can someone please provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to properly replace the brake pads in my vehicle?
ReplyHi there Maria, replacing brake pads may seem daunting at first, but it's actually not that difficult. First, make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment, such as a jack, jack stands, and a brake pad spreader. Then, lift the vehicle and securely place it on stands. Next, remove the wheel and locate the brake caliper. Use the spreader to compress the caliper piston. Once the piston is compressed, remove the caliper and then the old brake pads. Finally, install the new brake pads and reassemble everything. Make sure to test your brakes before driving.
Hi Maria, I hope this helps! I suggest following a tutorial video for a visual guide as well. Remember, it's important to replace your brake pads regularly to ensure your safety on the road.
