Pluriel Brake Replacement

[Elwyn]

Hi,

I need to change the disc pads on my 2004 1.4 Pluriel - Is it a straightforward job? Any tips? I might also replace the discs themselves so I make the same request for doing that please.

 

Thanks

Elwyn

Hi did the fronts on My normal c3 the other week

A few recommendations firstly if you are reading out of the Haynes manual even if you clamp the brake line before you start I would still bleed the brakes after fitting new pads to be on the safe side.

 

Very easy to do just jack up car remove both wheels push pads in a little to move piston back remove bottom bolt pads and shims should come out easy enough then with a self bleed kit undo the nipple and push the brake piston back in but not the whole way just before do the nipple up again then do this .

I put a little copper grease on the back of the new pads before fitting then its just a case of putting it all back together easy job

 

Do the other side then bleed any air out of system and off you go

 

If you intend replacing your discs a word of warning decide the day before if they need replacing or not as the screws that hold the discs in place can get rusty and are best left over night soking in WD40
