How do you change the front brake pads on a Peugeot 206?

Answer 1

I don't know on a Peugeot, but all disc brakes are basically the same. If you have any experience at all, I'm sure you can do it. General steps. there will be one or two bolts holding the caliper on. On some cars there is one bolt and a pin the caliper slides over instead of two bolt. Some have clips that slide in and hold the caliper. Once the caliper is loose, lift it off of the rotor, take the outside pad off. Look at the piston the inside pad is attached to. If it is a hollow cup, it pushes in. If it is solid on the surface with a groove or a pattern on the surface, it screws in to depress it. In either case it has to be pushed into the caliper until it is flush with the surface of the caliper. Install the new pads, replace the caliper on the rotor and tighten the bolts. Make sure to pump the brakes a few times before driving to seat the pads on the rotor. This is very generic, but if you have any mechanical experience at all, you should be able to handle it.
