Replacing the brake pads on a Ford Fiesta Mk6 is an easy job, yet Ford seem to charge the earth for it. You may want to use copper grease in order to prevent squeaks and rattling. This can be pasted onto the back of the brake pad and the side of it, not the actual pad itself though.
Begin by removing the wheel.
Use a screw driver and flip off the retaining clip.
Take off the plastic covers & use a 7mm allen key to remove the bolt, there is one below the one pictured also.
Remove the old pad and insert the new brake pad (the one with no clip attached)
Remove the other side from the caliper and clip in the new one. If you have ABS, you may have to open the bleed nipple (near the brake hose) and push the pad towards the caliper, otherwise, you can push it towards the caliper without any extra steps. Job complete, reassemble & pump the brake pedal, allow about 20/30 miles at maximum for them to bed into the discs.
