Reply To: Renault Kadjar Replace Front Brake Discs (rotors) and Pads So had fun the other day replacing our Renault Kadjar front brake discs (rotors) and pads, so thought I would create a quick guide as not much material out there…

Note:

To add to the debate, changing brake pads can require compressing the brake calipers piston which can create brake fluid back pressure which could damage the ABS module and the seals of the Master Cylinder.

on modern ABS vehicles, another option is to slacken the brake calliper bleed nipple before the caliper piston is compressed. This can save potential damage to ABS and Master Brake Cylinder, but you need to ensure no air enters brake calliper as a result of slackening the bleed nipple.

So a good idea to understand how your brake pedal feels/reacts/travels under different foot pressure when engine is On and Off before you change the brake pads etc.
