How to change the brake pads on a Ford Puma?

I noticed my Ford Puma has been making a screeching noise whenever I press on the brakes. I suspect it's time to change the brake pads, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any advice on the necessary tools and steps to take? Thank you.

Hi Samantha, as a fellow Ford Puma owner, I can tell you that changing the brake pads is a relatively simple process. First, you'll need a jack, jack stands, and a basic socket set. Once you have those, simply loosen the lug nuts, jack up the car, remove the wheels, and then you'll have access to the brake pads. Take note of how the pads are positioned before removing them, and then replace with new ones. Don't forget to pump the brakes a few times after putting the wheels back on. Hope this helps!

Hi Samantha, I recently changed my Ford Puma's brake pads and found that using a C-clamp to compress the caliper was helpful. Also, be sure to inspect the rotors for any wear and replace them if necessary. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your brakes. Good luck!

Hey Samantha, just wanted to add on to the previous answers. Make sure to clean the calipers and guide pins before installing the new brake pads. This will ensure proper alignment and prevent any squeaking or excess wear. Best of luck!
