On the other hand The Bosch ones from my german online supplier https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/7635391 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/1161839 Both are of fairly similar price. I am not easy buying old stock from ebay and would rather go for the trusted Bosch from a tried supplier. Yet I heard opinions that brake pads are best to go for the originals. What is your advice?

0 Andrewgrale Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Old stock shouldn't make any difference, as brake pads need heat to activate their chemistry, dust makes no difference!I would always choose original brake pads over pattern (even good make) parts Nello 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrewgrale Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Just to add, I have recently fitted Brembo brake pads to my wife's Delta 1.4 multiair and I'm highly impressed with them vs the 65,000 mile originals they replaced :-)The only fly in the ointment is that the replacement pads don't have the wee drilling for the pad wear sensors, which are pressed into the pads and are fitted to all 4 corners (now taped up and secured) Edited July 1, 2019 by Andrewgrale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I need to change the pads in mine soon - I know its not normally the most difficult job in the world but any "How-to" advice appreciated as not done on the Delta before................

0 Andrewgrale Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Andrew are the fronts easy enough - just about to do.............. How do you remove the caliper and get the piston back in - is it a wind-in job?1. Loosen the wheel bolts a half turn 2. Jack up the car and stick in an axle stand3. Remove the wheel bolts and remove the wheel, be aware that the wheel may be stuck to the hub (loosening the wheel bolts before you jack up should allow the wheel to break the corrosion seal)4. Using a flat screwdriver, pry the pads back in the caliper, to clean any dust and dirt from the pad slides5. Using a 12 (possibly a 13mm) spanner loosen the caliper retaining bolts and swing the caliper out of the way6. Lever out the pads, doing 1 side at a time, taking notice of the position of the anti rattle clips (new ones are usually supplied with pads, if not, the old ones are perfectly fit to reuse)7. Using a brake winder press in the caliper piston (do this slowly, as the brake fluid presses back into the brake fluid pot, via the master cylinder and if done too quickly, it has been reported that the seals could turn)8. Reassemble the caliper, using the new bolts supplied 9. Before you refit the wheel, coat the mating surfaces in a light coat of copper grease 10. Coat the threads of the wheel bolts with WD40, tighten up hand tight and torque/tighten them when the wheel on the ground 11. Repeat for the other side Nello 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks Andrew - without having the wheels off yet - presume the caliper retaining bolts are fairly obvious ones? Also do you need any special kind of brake winder - I can get away with a flat bladed screwdriver on my X1/9?

0 Nello Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Also any idea if these ones Dido linked are ok for the 1.4 MA? Mentions the 1.4 16V but thats 120 bhp? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Fiat-Bravo-Lancia-Delta-Front-Brake-Pads-77365810/123531236785?epid=1225286994&hash=item1cc30915b1:g:odIAAOSwv0tVZK8Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ForzaLancia Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 a bit of a thread revival, but I have the following watch out to add the wind back process is different for each side Unlike most Italians I have come across where the piston going back into place clockwise, these Bosch pistons go clockwise for the drivers side and anti clockwise for the passenger side. It took me ages and c=a check on the Bravo forum to see where I was going wrong on the passenger side as my wind back tool is made to go clockwise, a new tool has to be bought that can go both ways, or else use brute force without the collar to get it to go the 'wrong way'.

Dear Friends,
Just came across these original brake pads on ebay

They are the original Ricambi , but seems to have been around for quite a while as if they are old stock.
On the other hand The Bosch ones from my german online supplier
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/7635391
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/1161839
Both are of fairly similar price.
I am not easy buying old stock from ebay and would rather go for the trusted Bosch from a tried supplier. Yet I heard opinions that brake pads are best to go for the originals.
What is your advice?
