I've just had the pleasure of replacing the brake pads on my kangoo van. I know its not VR4 related, but hey !! my car is abandoned in the pub car park......... It's new home !! :$
changing brake pads is a relatively straight forward procedure, [ for some ] but renault have excelled themselves !!
ONE 13mm bolt at the bottom of the caliper, remove that & the whole caliper pivots up out of the way !! the pads themselves just pull out, no springs, no clips !! they just lift out !! :-D
the new pads just drop into the slot, no forcing or fiddling, & the piston pushes back with ease !!.
lower the caliper back down, & bolt back up with new bolt { supplied } :-b
once the van was up in the air & wheels off, 3 minutes.................done !! ;) ;)
I'll get me coat !! :lipsrseal :$ :$ :$
