Photos used in this guide are from Alfa Romeo 147, but many other Alfas, Fiats and Lancias share the same brakes. Note: During the installation showed in this guide I was installing aftermarket brake components (Galfer Extreme brake kit 37.09.500).

Fluid level will rise during installation so if the level is close to max suck some fluid out. 3. Lift the car and remove front wheel.4. Remove pad spring.5. Remove covers on caliper mounting bolts, unscrew them (7mm hex key) and pull them out.6. Lift the caliper with pads off the discs, remove old pads and hang the caliper on some wire/cable but NEVER let it hang on its hose. 7. Compress the caliper piston to make space for new pads (described more in text).8. Clean the caliper as much as you can off dirt and rust. Check if it is not damaged (rubbers). If changing discs as well: 9. Remove the caliper mounting bracket (19mm hex socket).10. Unscrew the disc holding pin (12mm hex socket) and lift the disc off the hub.11. Clean everything you can from rust.12. Install new disc….
