The EBC Yellowstuff DP42002R is a front brake pad set for the Ford Fiesta 1.6L excluding the ST, listed for model year 2010 onward. I could not retrieve the manufacturer's spec sheet during research, so the friction rating and temperature range are not stated here. Confirm them with EBC before purchase. Owners on user forums consistently advise changing discs alongside pads, since forum guides suggest rotors should ideally be replaced or resurfaced when replacing pads. Fitting fresh discs with these pads makes the whole front axle a more complete refresh.
Owners on user forums describe the front job as manageable at home with basic tools. Forum guides for the Mk7 Fiesta call for a 19mm socket for the wheel nuts and axle stands under the front end. Once the caliper is off, a calliper rewind tool pushes the piston back to make room for the thicker new pad. Clean the caliper edges where the pad backing sits, because rust there can stop the pad from moving freely. Keep copper grease off the guide pins, since owners warn it can damage the rubber. Searches for "Fiesta Mk7 1.6 front Yellowstuff pads", "EBC DP42002R install", and "Fiesta 1.6 excl ST front pad fitment" will match this listing.
Owners on user forums report that modern pads generally do not need copper grease on the backing plate or ears. Many still apply a light smear for corrosion protection, but they advise against copper on the guide pins.
Owners on user forums recommend replacing or resurfacing the front discs whenever the pads are changed, especially if the discs show a noticeable lip or scoring.
Owners on user forums rate the front pad swap as a moderate DIY job. Use a jack and two axle stands, a 19mm socket for the wheel nuts, and a caliper rewind tool. Soak the caliper bolts in penetrating oil first, and expect old pads to stick to the caliper on some cars. Clean the caliper pad seats and guide pin rubbers before fitting. Torque figures were not confirmed from the manufacturer during research, so use the Ford workshop data or your tool supplier's specified values.
