how do i change brake pads on a fiat punto?

remove wheel.on the calipers you will see a pin about the thickness it a paper clip, you need to remove this, it is easiest with pliers then slide the bar out .you should now be able to swing the calipers upwards, remove pads and replace with new pads.if you try to swing the caliper back down into postition at this point you'll notice it's too tight. you need to force the round arm back in(sorry don't know what it is called). this can easily be done with the handle of a hammer or by prising it back with a heavy screwdriver. push it back in don't whack it. once it is far enough in your caliper should slide down. remember it put bar and pin back in and you can replace your wheel
