Attention! Be sure to replace all the pads on one axle of the car, even if one pad has reached the wear limit.
Attention! When installing the brake pads, a new top guide pin bolt must be used.
1. Raise the rear of the car and secure it on stands.
2. Remove rear wheels.
3. Disconnect the handbrake cable from the control lever on the caliper.
4. Unscrew the upper bolt securing the lower guide pin. At the same time, use a thin wrench to keep the guide pin from turning. To fasten the guide pin, use only a new bolt.
5. Swing the caliper down on the guide pin while observing the tension of the brake hose.
6. Remove brake pads from caliper.
7. Measure the lining thickness of each brake pad.
8. If the pads are serviceable, clean them using a wire brush and a rag.
9. Before installing the pads, check that the guide bushings move easily in the caliper and that the rubber protective boots are not damaged.
10. If new brake pads are to be installed, use the special tool to press the piston into the caliper while turning it clockwise.
11. Rotate the piston so that the grooves in the piston are centered on the caliper.
12. When the piston is pushed in, the brake fluid is forced out of the brake cylinder into the expansion tank. Therefore, constantly monitor the level of liquid in the tank and, if necessary, pump it out.
13. When installing old brake pads, put them in their original places.
14. Insert the brake pads into the caliper holder.
15. Install the caliper onto the brake pads.
16. Lubricate the threads of the guide pin mounting bolt with an anti-tightening agent (Peugeot recommends Loctite Frenetanch).
17. Press the caliper into position, then screw in the guide pin mounting bolt, tightening it to the required torque.
18. Connect the handbrake cable to the caliper.
19. Press the brake pedal several times to press the pads against the disc and recheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
20. Perform the same steps on the second rear wheel.
21. Install wheels and lower vehicle.
22. Recheck the brake fluid level.
