Introduction
***
⚠️ Safety:*** Brakes are critical. Use jack stands, never rely solely on a jack, and always verify model-specific torque settings.
Tools
- Jack and 2 jack stands
- Lug wrench and sockets
- Torque wrench
- Brake caliper piston tool
- Wire brush
- Brake cleaner
- New front discs and pads
Procedure
- Park on a flat surface, engage the gear/Park, and loosen the lug nuts.
- Lift the car at the manufacturer's designated points and rest it on jack stands.
- Remove the front wheel.
- Inspect the disc, pads, brake hose, and ABS sensor.
- Remove any clips and disconnect the wear sensor.
- Unscrew the caliper and never let it hang by the brake hose.
- Remove the old pads.
- Remove the caliper bracket, if necessary, to remove the disc.
- Unscrew the disc retaining screw and remove the old disc.
- Thoroughly clean rust and dirt from the hub.
- Compare the new disc with the old one to verify compatibility and dimensions.
- Clean the new disc with brake cleaner.
- Install the disc onto the hub and tighten the screw to the specified torque.
- Reinstall the caliper bracket and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
- Check the brake fluid level before retracting the piston.
- Slowly retract the piston using the appropriate tool.
- Install the new pads into their respective seats.
- Reinstall the caliper and tighten its bolts to the specified torque.
- Properly reconnect any wear sensor.
- Check that the brake hose and cables are clear of the disc and moving parts.
- Repeat the procedure on the other side: discs and pads must be replaced in pairs.
- Reinstall the wheels and tighten the lug nuts with the torque wrench according to Lancia specifications.
- Check the brake fluid level.
- With the engine off, pump the pedal several times until it feels firm.
- Visually check for any fluid leaks.
- Perform an initial test at low speed in a safe area.
- Check braking performance, noises, vibrations, and vehicle behavior.
- Perform a break-in period, avoiding very heavy braking whenever possible during the first few kilometers.
Don'ts
- Do not use the jack as the sole support.
- Do not leave the caliper hanging by the hose.
- Do not contaminate discs and pads with oil or grease.
- Do not use generic torque settings.
- Do not drive if the pedal remains spongy or braking is abnormal.
