Hi guys,

I'm about to attempt for the first time a front brake pad change on my 2006 panda dynamic.

Could anybody tell me if there is anything I should look out for, and also, does anybody know if the caliper is held on with a pin or bolts. If its like the old shape panda I had, it was a pin and you just swiveled the caliper upwards to remove the pads. Is the new one the same?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Josh

Not seen the old Panda calipers.
But it sounds the same, just a pin, and caliper swivels upwards.
Really easy job.

Brilliant!!

Thank you very much for your help!!
Hopefully it should be an easy job.

On mine it was a bolt, not a pin. Unscrew the lower bolt and the caliper swings up as you describe. There should be a new bolt, pre-painted with locking compound, supplied with the pads to be used on reassembly.

My 06 Dynamic was definately a pin, it needed driving out and was retained by small spring clip.
There must be more than one variation?

The 4x4 and diesels with their ventilated front discs seem to have a different set up from the other models with non-ventilated discs.

What about the bottom if the range the 1.1?? Is that Bolt or clip??

Pin with clip holding that in same as the 1.2..also used on cento's and early puntos..

Watch that little clip, it's a bugger if it pings off and disappears, from my experience of a Cinquecento.
