How To… Change the Front Brake Pads on an Alfa Brera and 159.

How To… Change the Front Brake Pads on an Alfa Brera and 159.

These guides serve as an introduction into various Alfa maintenance tasks, and are designed to give Alfa owners a better understanding of the work that is involved. These are not full Alfa Romeo workshop manuals, where you will find the official techniques, technical specs and important safety considerations, which we would recommend you study before attempting any of these tasks.

Loosen the wheel nuts. Elevate the vehicle, place on two axle stands on a hard surface and remove the front wheel.

Be aware that the wheel is quite heavy.

Using the correct size punch remove retaining pins, these are often seized into place and may need to be replaced.

Remove anti rattle clip.

Push brake pistons back using a pry bar then remove brake pads.
Carefully apply anti squeal grease to rear and ends of the new brake pads.
Fit new brake pads (159 Brake Pads/Brera Brake Pads) and clips etc, torque up wheel nuts and remember to pump out brake calliper pistons before driving away then bed the pads in with gentle braking for 100 miles.
