Renault Talisman 1.5 dCi K9K (2019): Front Brake Disc Replacement

The Talisman 1.5 dCi is front-wheel drive with 330 mm ventilated front discs. Discs are usually replaced together with the brake pads (wear is synchronized). The procedure requires lifting the car, removing the wheels and caliper, removing the guides and the discs themselves. This work affects the brake system, so check the brakes carefully after reassembly.

Difficulty: Medium Time: 2-3 hours Steps: 21 Tools: Jack (at least 2 jack stands) or lift, 7, 13 and 17 mm sockets, flat screwdriver, caliper tool, wheel chocks, brake fluid container

Step by step

21 steps
  1. Park the car on level ground, apply the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels.
  2. Loosen the front wheel nuts (1-2 turns, DO NOT remove them completely).
  3. Raise the front axle with a jack and jack stands or a lift so the wheels are completely off the ground.
  4. Fully unscrew and remove the front wheels.
  5. Open the brake fluid reservoir (cap on the filler neck).
  6. Loosen the upper caliper bolt (17 mm wrench, horizontal) slightly, but do not remove it completely.
  7. Loosen the lower caliper bolt (17 mm wrench, vertical).
  8. Remove the caliper assembly and hang it on a wire so it does not hang by the brake hose.
  9. Remove the upper caliper guide (7 mm wrench, two bolts in a crisscross pattern) and take the guides off the disc.
  10. Remove the two bolts that secure the disc to the hub (13 mm wrench, located at the edges of the disc in a crisscross pattern).
  11. Remove the old disc. If it will not come off, tap around its perimeter with a hammer.
  12. Before installing the new disc, clean rust off the hub with sandpaper and wipe it with a clean rag.
  13. Install the new disc so that the ventilation channels point toward the inside of the wheel (original discs have an arrow).
  14. Tighten the disc mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern to 60-75 N·m (44-55 lb-ft) (check the exact value in the manufacturer's specifications, most often 68 N·m (50 lb-ft)).
  15. Reinstall the upper guide with the 7 mm bolts (tightening torque 20-25 N·m (15-18 lb-ft)).
  16. Lower the caliper back into place, tighten the upper bolt (17 mm) to 40-50 N·m (30-37 lb-ft), then the lower bolt (17 mm) to 40-50 N·m (30-37 lb-ft).
  17. Check the clearance between the caliper and the disc; a coin should fit through.
  18. Install the wheel and hand-tighten the nuts in a crisscross pattern.
  19. Lower the car to the ground and tighten the wheel nuts to 120-140 N·m (89-103 lb-ft) (or per the wheel nut protrusion chart, usually 4 turns from contact).
  20. Close the brake fluid reservoir cap.
  21. Press the brake pedal 5-10 times until it firms up (the caliper piston returns to its working position and the disc seats).

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Brake discs work together with the caliper and pads, so it is best to replace them as a set (discs and pads at the same time). After reassembly, be sure to test the brakes at a safe speed (20-30 km/h) before normal driving. If the pedal is soft or goes to the floor, bleed the brake system manually or with a pressure bleeder.
