Rear Brakes

[Guest gs fan]

Got the back brakes fixed at last , took my time treating them with brake cleaner and WD for many weeks , that seemed to pay off as the bolts came out ok .Amazed at how badly they were corroded and how difficult it was to shift . It was made possible by the info I got from this forum , so thanks to all ( Coastline, KFK ,techbod , Paul H etc ) . I've not contributed for a while cause my old C5 has been so well behaved ..... oh that's tempting providence eh !!!!

Thanks again all..

No prob's . Was sorry to read of the fate of the C5 in the "samaritans" topic in technical , but I have to admit to laughing at the account of it's journey to the gold fish pond ......

To remove the back bumper from the hatchback, it appears the rear lights need removing to access the top bolts holding it on. Also need to undo the screws in the rear wheelarches and along the bottom.
