Hi Guys,

I used various sources to figure out how to change the front brake pads on my 1991 C2 tip today. This would be the same for a C4 on all 4 corners and same for all 4 corners on post 1991 C2s. Anyway here is my DIY in photos.

I reused the mushroom pads

Cobracarrera, the rears on the 90 & 92 C2s are different. I just ordered brake pads for the rear and will document that as well.

Be careful pushing the pistons back in - you don't want to tear the rubber gasket around them.

Also, watch the level in your brake fluid reservoir as the level will go up as you push the pistons back in and fluid back into the system - overflowed brake fluid can be kind of messy and harmful to painted surfaces.

Great write-up!

I prefer to push the piston in with the old pads, shoving a screwdriver in is asking for trouble.

I use the rubber coated handles of a pair of Channellock pliers. Or equivalent. The 2 handles allow you to push both pistons back at the same time.

I'd love to have one of these in my tool chest.


ZDMak MK-BRK-J looks like it would work to:

I have one of these and it is the best. From here.

Great write-up but the photo's don't show the correct assembly. Both pads should be connected to the wear sensor and the sensor cable secured with a spring clip to the pad retaining clip. See PET (Front Brakes) items 18 and 22.

Looking forward to it...

Thanks again...At least it gives some sort of guidance..
