Brakes are really important, my advice would be. If you have any concern about doing the work yourself don't take a change, take the car down to your local garage.

If you do it yourself, its really straight forward to go. Just take your time and make sure you re-fit all the parts that came off.

If the pads are badly worn, when you push the pistons back into the callipers. Make sure that the brake fluid in the reservoir does not over flow into the engine bay.

its fairly simple get either a 12 or 13%26quot; spanner undo the bottom bolt of the caliper. you can push the piston back with a screwdriver. lift the caliper up and the pads should just slide out, if they dont just pry them out with the screwdriver clean with wire brush and then simply replace pads (make sure the pads go on same side they come out cause they are different). After, just tighten the bottom bolt you took out.Just check the top one just in case to make sure better safe than sorry.How do i change the brake pads on my corsa?
