Evening!

Is there a guide to taking caliper off/replacing pads on the front (and rear actually, assume they're equally unusual...)

Had a look today and it seemed like the pads were held in by a clamp, is that all holding them in place? and you can remove the outer 2 calipers with 4x bolts each side...although these bolts seem to be the only imperial ones I've found on the car so waiting for spanners to arrive.

Brakes were sticking on a bit, managed to loosen the inner caliper off a touch so can wheel but want to go over properly.

thanks!

Early 2024 I had squealing front brakes. Upon close inspection I found the metal backing plates of the pads to be a too-tight fit within the caliper. The pads weren't free to move away from the disc. Removing some metal from the edge of the pad did thr job. Perhaps your sticking on problem is similar?

Possibly?

I need to figure out how to get them apart before I can check 😂

Assume pistons just push back in as per normal calipers?

Yep Dunlop system!

Different to anything I've worked on before, shame there isn't a Haynes manual or equvalent for the Fulvia!

There is a Dunlop braking system manual for Flavia (same). Contact Chris Hopkins - libraian as he may have a copy to sell....
