Change FRONT Brake pads




Safety first - chock the REAR wheels
Partially loosen the bolts on the FRONT wheels






Find the jack point and safely jack the car up and remove the wheel.






Position an axle stand to hold the car up, lower the jack slowly onto the axle stand. I still like to keep the jack in place also while I'm working.
Note the bolt I'm pointing to, loosen this bolt accordingly, on the left side it is ANTI-CLOCKWISE to open the brake caliper, on the cars right side, it is CLOCKWISE. It may be different for other Aristo V300's





The calliper is open - note the 2 pots (metal with rubber outers) on the inside of the caliper - you will need to push these in to fit the new pads




Note the 'X' clip, it's flimsy so carefully remove and remove the brake pads + shims





Ensure the shims are adequately coated with anti-squeel grease, assemble the pads the same way you took them apart reverse the above process.
Ensure the brake caliper is secure. Put the wheel on and tighten, lower the jack, tighten the wheel again and remove jack.

Pump the brake to finish so it feels tight and normal.

You can now repeat the process above to change the other front brake pads.

REAR Brakes



This is very similar to the FRONT, here we're in 'The Garage' Jap autoshop with expert mechanic Billy.
Again, chock the front wheels if you're not using a ramp.





Disassembly is same as front, be careful with the clip and grease up the shims when assembling brake pad.

Push brake piston in, insert rear pads, ensure clip is in place and tighten bolt.
Pump brake pedal until it feels hard.
