Brake Pad Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe it off quickly.
  • Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both LH and RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side when braking.
  1. While pressing the cross spring by hand, remove the pin from the brake caliper assembly.
  2. Remove the cross spring from the brake caliper assembly.
