HOW TO: Replace Front Brake Pads (Fiat 500 / Panda / Punto)

A quick guide on how to replace the front brake pads on a Fiat 500 / Panda / Punto with some tips I found helpful. Most of the Fiats use the same chassis components hence why the guide is the same for a variety of Fiat.
I have replaced these pads on a Fiat Panda and a Punto and it is exactly the same.

I like the text you placed in. Thanks! Question: Do you know if the wheel speed sensor is located near the calipers or in the wheel hub? Mine aren’t working correctly

[@agustinrodriguez3710]

Could let's us know which tools we need to use?

Question why u didn’t change your rotors ?

[@theoriginalshew]

Normally you don't change rotors for just maintenance. They don't or shouldn't wear as much or as fast.

[@ryanlittlemore8270]

Why no copper grease on the pads,? I thought that was a must to stop them squealing

[@rowanlewisuk]

I didn't use copper grease and there was no squealing. I have never had brakes squeal. Its worth using though just encase. Since this video I have started to use copper grease on all pad changes as a precaution.

[@ryanlittlemore8270]

Thanks for confirming. Just followed your video to do the wife's 500, it was a big help!

[@iamthefatstig]

A great product and should be used on every pad change and bolt/nut removed (unless it needs threadlock) Stops corrosion,squeal and makes the job a lot easier next time. Don't ever put it in bearings though like my numpty mate did!

Ha, cool cat intro

[@rowanlewisuk]

Nathaniel Lewis thanks banjo

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

A very useful tip is to use copper grease on the retaining pins, it stops them corroding into the calipers and makes them a synch to remove next time

[@sharrison586]

God I just want to check the brake pads and know if they need to be replaced. No videos anywhere for that.

[@rowanlewisuk]

The car should tell you if they need replacing, as brake pads have a wear sensor in them.
