Clio 197 - Brake Pads Change

[DJLEX]

Hey guys anybody give me a decent idea how to change the pads on my 197 clio. The old boy is going to do it for me but i would rather get a bit of background info, does anybody have a clio 197 servicing manual?

Doddle, remove the wheel, 2 x metal pins that slide through the caliper, tap these from the outside in.

Be warned they are sometimes tight, so a bit of WD40 won't do any harm on the pins.

Then just the same as any other pad change, clean up, copper slip the backs and edges etc!

Thanks for taking the time to post back. I took a look at the rear ones tonight? is the calipers on the back those screw in ones and do i need a special tool to loosen them off (you know pull the pushrod back to make space for the new pads), also someone said i would need a t40 torx driver and proper flare nut bleed spanner.

ON the rear, undo one of the 13mm's, roll the caliper over and pull the pads out then you'll need a wind back tool to push the piston back.

Dont you just tap them with a punch and hammer. The pins on the Mini JCW 4pots come out a treat.

Saw Fred doing a pad change a few weeks ago. Typical french, the pins were rusty and bent.
