Renault Talisman 1.5 dCi (2019): Rear Brake Pad Replacement

The Talisman 1.5 dCi K9K has disc brakes at the rear. The pads need replacing every 40,000-70,000 km (25,000-43,000 mi), depending on driving style. The procedure requires a jack and jack stands, so work carefully.

Difficulty: Medium Time: 1.5-2 hours Steps: 14 Tools: jack, jack stands, 17 mm wrench, screwdriver, C-clamp or a dedicated caliper piston retractor tool

Part

  • 🔩 Rear brake pads – Renault 410603562R (aftermarket equivalents: Bosch BP1641, Ferodo FDB4259, TRW GDB3556). Also check the rotors – wear of more than 2 mm requires replacement

Step by step

14 steps
  1. Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  2. Raise the car with the jack (if you are replacing both rear wheels' pads at the same time, lift both corners). Place jack stands under the frame rails.
  3. Remove the rear right wheel (17 mm wrench).
  4. Visually inspect the caliper (the brake assembly with two pistons on the side of the rotor). It should be positioned at the front of the rotor.
  5. Remove the two caliper bolts (17 mm): the upper and the lower.
  6. Swing the caliper aside (toward the center of the car) and take out the old pads.
  7. Wipe the rotor and the caliper mounting surface with a rag to remove dust.
  8. Retract both caliper pistons using a special C-clamp or tool. The pistons should go in by 5-10 mm to make room for the thicker new pads.
  9. Install the new pads (usually two thin plates) in the same way the old ones were seated. Check that they are not crooked.
  10. Reinstall the caliper and tighten the bolts to 20-30 N·m (15-22 lb-ft). Check the exact value in the K9K service manual.
  11. Install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern.
  12. Repeat the procedure on the other rear wheel.
  13. Lower the car and press the brake pedal firmly several times until it stops. The brake pedal should feel firm.
  14. Drive slowly around a parking lot and make several gentle stops to bed in the pads.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • — Never work without jack stands – the jack can slip. — Do not reuse an old or damaged rotor – it is dangerous for braking at high speeds. — If the brake fluid in the reservoir is above the middle level, remove a little into a container before starting. When the pistons are pushed in, the fluid level rises and can overflow the reservoir. — Check the rotor thickness with a caliper. The minimum thickness for the Talisman K9K is approximately 8 mm (confirm in the technical documentation). If it is less, replace the rotor. — After the replacement, drive at moderate speeds for 50-100 km (30-60 mi) before braking hard or driving aggressively.
