Replacing a faulty front brake caliper is a essential repair that protects you and others on the road. Before you begin, make sure you have the correct tools and لوازم یدکی تیگو 7 پرو replacement parts. You will need: a jack and jack stands, a tire iron, a wrench or socket set, a piston compression tool, brake cleaner, updated brake linings, and an OEM-equivalent caliper. Always consult your vehicle’s factory workshop instructions for exact procedures and factory torque settings.

Start by parking your vehicle on a flat, level surface and applying the handbrake. Turn the lug nuts counterclockwise slightly on the front wheel, but do not remove them yet. Lift the vehicle with a jack to elevate the vehicle, then securely mount jack stands on the vehicle’s frame rails. After confirming the vehicle is secure, unscrew the wheel bolts and take off the wheel.

Now find the brake caliper. It is mounted over the brake rotor and fastened via two or four bolts. Before removing the caliper, you must relieve pressure from the brake system. Open the brake fluid reservoir cap and place a clean cloth over it to avoid contamination. Employ a piston compression tool to gently retract the piston into the piston bore. This enables proper pad installation. Do not apply excessive pressure, as this can rupture internal O-rings.

When the caliper piston is safely set, unscrew the caliper retaining hardware. If rusted, treat with penetrating oil if the bolts are rusted. Carefully lift the caliper off the rotor and hang it from the suspension. Do not let it hang by the brake hose, as this can cause fluid leaks.

Once the old caliper is off, inspect the brake hose for signs of deterioration. If damaged, install a new one. Extract the used brake linings from the brake carrier and clean the bracket and rotor surface. Use solvent cleaner to eliminate buildup. Install the new brake pads into the bracket, making sure they are seated properly.

Fit the new brake caliper. Position it correctly over the disc and lower it into position. Secure the caliper with the retaining hardware to the manufacturer’s specified torque. After tightening the bolts, rejoin the brake fluid line if you disconnected it. Verify the coupling is sealed and free of leaks.

Mount the front wheel and thread the bolts by hand. Lower the vehicle to the ground and secure the wheel fasteners in a star pattern to prevent warping. Close the brake fluid reservoir cap.

When preparing to test drive, pump the brake pedal several times to seat the pads against the rotor. This may require multiple depressions until the pedal feels firm. Inspect the reservoir and refill to the appropriate level.

Perform a cautious test run in a open, empty space. Engage the brakes softly at first to allow the new pads to seat properly. Listen for unusual noises and observe if the vehicle veers or the pedal feels mushy. If the brake response is consistent, your replacement was successful. If you notice any issues, such as dripping brake lines, unusual noises, or a spongy brake feel, pull over safely and recheck your work.

Dispose of hazardous materials according to regulations. Brake fluid is highly poisonous and should never be poured down the drain. Check with local mechanics for disposal options. Performing this repair accurately ensures the integrity of your braking system. If you are ever unsure, consult a certified mechanic.
