How to change the brake pads on a Ford S-Max?

I recently purchased a used Ford S-Max and I noticed that the brake pads are starting to wear down. Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions on how to change the brake pads on my car?

Hi Emma! Changing the brake pads on your Ford S-Max is a simple but important maintenance task. First, gather all necessary materials (new brake pads, a jack, and a wrench). Next, remove the tire and wheel, then loosen the caliper bolts to remove the old brake pads. Clean the caliper and rotor before installing the new brake pads. Finally, reattach the caliper and replace the wheel.

Hi Emma, I would also recommend checking your owner's manual or watching a tutorial video for specific instructions on your exact model of Ford S-Max. And don't forget to properly dispose of the old brake pads!

Hey Emma, if you're unsure about changing the brake pads yourself, it's always a good idea to take your car to a reputable mechanic. It may cost a bit more, but it's important to ensure your brakes are properly installed for safety reasons.
