- In this how to video; a guide to replacing your rear brake pads and discs.
Once fitted, please remember to test drive with some 30mph emergency stops, with some time in between stops for cooling and then steady braking for 250miles to permit them to bed in.
correction for the torque spec of the two bolts bolts holding the pad retaining bracket is 110nm, however be cautious with old bolts and threads.
This is the same as the big bolts on the caliper.
Specifically for a Peugeot 106, 206, 306, Citroen ZX, Xsara, Saxo. ...
However these brakes can be found on a number of Citroens and Peugeots.
This is not a comprehensive guide for all types of brake system or all methods. Just the basics to get you going. Hope it proves helpful.
There are other methods and you may have other w you prefer. That is fine. Just keep it safe!

omg this video has saved my day. I was used to how brake calipers of Opels can be squeezed in relatively easy, but with my Peugeot 306sw it's a different ballgame!
After almost breaking my hands trying to do the same with the Peugeot I found your video.
10 mins after watching the video the job was done! Thanks very much!!
Excellent! The reason I do these! So pleased! 👍🐷💪
Most cars rear brakes whined in because of the handbrake mechanism. Careful some are left left and some are right hand thread
Succinct and to the point - thank you . There are not many video makers like you.....glad to have come across 'Piggy Power'!
Such kind words. I feel undeserved but they've brightened my day! Glad I could help you. Many thanks! 😃👍🐷💪
This is the best tutorial I've ever used. Thank you
Wow, such big kind words, thankyou! Please subscribe if it's really helped! 👍☺️🐷💪
Certainly one of the best brake how-to videos out there. Keep up the good work :)
Thankyou! That's big praise for such a wee Pig! 👍
🐷💪
I found it easier to fit the spring clips (anti rattle clips) last. You can push the short bar up under the top pad ear and then use a screwdriver to ease the other end into position behind the pad. I don't think there's a right or wrong way, just what works for you.
Yeah so long as they stay there and are fitted correctly. I've seen and heard lots of ways to fit them... Then see a picture and they are fitted wrong. So as long as correct once done and safe, all good 😊
Thank you so much for your great videos .Thanks to you I finally found the best Peugeot video to repair my brakes.
No worries! Thank YOU for commenting... Kind comments like yours keep the channel going!
👌🐷💪
I love your 206 videos!
The only appropriate comment for Valentine's day...
P.S. yes I'm spending the night watching video-tutorials about brakes for my 206.
👌🐷
I did my citroen xsara2's brake controls with this video, thank you so much
No worries! Glad it helped! Go for hitting that big red sub button 😜👌🐷
The most detailed video I've seen....thx Piggy the master.
Appreciate the kind words 👌🐷💪
Great explanation, always good to learn something new!
Thank you 👍
🐷💪
I had to come back to this video!! I was like i'm sure this is piggy's video that i'm going to use on the Phase 2 xsi we was talking about on your other video! haha banging mate!
No worries 👌🐷💪
Thanks mate! Was really stuck on the brakes of my 306 cab wondering why the carrier wouldn't fit until you showed me that it's a sliding caliper 🤦♂️
No worries!! Hope you've got it all fixed and sorted for the sun! 👍😃🐷💪
Many thanks for an easy to understand vid! I was trying to push the piston back to make room for the new disc/pads with a G clamp, not knowing about the thread in the piston.
No worries! Glad to help! 👌🐷💪
A video on a rear drum brake to disc brake conversion for a 206 would be brilliant!
See my rear axle change for a 206... It's basically that plus changing your handbrake cables. As you need a disc rear axle for the conversion. 👌👍
🐷💪
Piggy Power thank you very much!!
No worries ..get subscribed! 😉🐷💪
Great! It is clear and very easy to understanding. Many thanks!
No troubles! Glad to help 👍👌🐷💪
Hi this is a very good video at risk of sounding stupid it this the same for 01 xsara 2.0 hdi not the Picasso thanks
Yes it is 👍👍🐷
Thank you so much video is the best on u tube everything you need too know

Thanks, helped 4 times 😂❤️
Brilliant! So pleased!

🐷💪
Many thanks, you helped me a lot!
No worries! Consider a sub!
Good video, but my 206 piston turn to right
Your piston turn to the right? Or tight?
Hi, you stated 65Nm as the torque spec for the rear caliper retaining bolts. However, I found multiple sources that contradict each other. My Haynes manual says 50Nm, the Autodoc instruction video says 80Nm, and a source from Peugeot itself (I think) says 110Nm for both the guide pin bolts and the retaining bolts. As these numbers differ quite a lot, I'm a little confused now.
Hi there. Yeah there is a correction in the description.
However be cautious with old bolts going to 110nm.
@PiggyPower Thanks for the quick response! What would you suggest as a safe number for used bolts? I did put on some fresh loctite, however I want to be sure it won't come off by itself. The 50Nm I used may be a little low?
@@VintageOutboardMan I'd try closer to 100nm and see how it feels. They likely will do 110
thanks for this nice video ! Cannot find your video about the handbrake on disc brakes
Confused 🤔
@@PiggyPowerthx for reply . At 1:56 : "on previous episodes I showed you how to deal with the handbrake..." cannot find that video. Do you mean you need to loose the 13 nut to slacken the cables ?
Ah right...I can't find it myself now...may have been during on of my project videos. For discs. Back off the handbrake cable nut underneath the handbrake surround. Then you wind calipers back in. Bed the brakes in. THEN just take the slack out of the cables using that 13mm nut! Don't touch the handbrake or that nut until you've taken the car out and bedded the rear pads/discs in. 👍🐷🏄
@@PiggyPower ok all clear now, thanks a lot :-))) !!!
Hi bro, Any vids on how to change a front shock on a 306, (the passengers side) any help would be appreciated👍 also Il be doing both my rear disc's and brakes in a few days, this vid is going to help me alot, cheers bro! From NZ.
From New Zealand! 😮😮😮 Wow!
Undo the pinch bolt on the hub, undo the driveshaft but and ensure its loose in the hub... Put a square drive into the hub slot at the back, turn it 45° to open the hub up and smack down on the hub with a copper hammer.
Strut will stay in place and the hub will drop down.
Then undo the 3 top bolts.
Always best to do shocks and springs in pairs.
I would also reccomend new strut top mounts and bearings as they will be tired by this age.
🐷💪👍👍👍
If you put the tab from the brakepad into the slot of the piston, how can the piston turn? 🤔
It doesn't turn. That's the point.
Thank you for this video it helped me a lot, but I have a question regarding the abs rear sensors, I have a difference on the air gap from the sensor head to the reluctor ring, on the left hand rear its 2mm but on the right its more like 20mm any ideas
20mm?!????? You sure? This guide doesn't mention abs sensors ....what did you touch?
Nice video man! Keep up!!!!
Thankyou 🐷💪
Hi again, 😁, the disc does come off easily without removing the caliper
You'll have to record, edit and upload a video showing us all how 👍
@@PiggyPower just undo the torx grub screws holding the disc, wind the caliper back in, & it easily manoeuvres out
That is for the rear disc, not sure it would work for the front as they are vented discs & so more than double the width
I concur. I just did a 306 HDI for the umpteenth time. The rear disc can easily be removed without dismantling the caliper.
Very confident speaker, nice work. Only constructive feedback i have is why on earth you driving a french motor...
Because they are
1) fun to drive
2) reliable
3) cheaper to run, service and repair than big brands
4) underated
@@PiggyPower reliable!!!! Fun!!!!??? Sorry i didnt realise you either work for citreon or have been brainwashed... ='P
Noticed few project cars on your channel do you ever race up santapod?
Yes, see my video of my diesel 306 beating a R32 Golf at santapod. We've had Peugeots as our dailys and projects for 14years... Broken down twice. Once because a custom oil line I fitted failed. Once because I was too cheap to replace a 10yr old battery and we left the car for a week in winter and it wouldn't start. We do 25k miles a year. Not a bad record for the fact we drive them like racecars and abuse them like vans!
Renault give French cars a bad name. Absolutely junk. Peugeot diesels in particular are well known for bullet proof reliability...and when they do breakdown, super rare, they don't cost £1000s to repair unlike "better" brands.
@@PiggyPower fair argument, ive had the opposite experience with french cars ive owned. Engines blowing up early, a new fault each week... never looked back. Ill look for that video. Was the R32 asleep at the lights? ;)
I've got drums on the rear of mine, can't work out how the adjuster mechanism goes back together
Compare it to the other side 👍
Top job ! tar everso
Thankyou 👍👍
7:17 If you caliper doesn't slide well, how you can clean your guide screws.
I have see it in front brakes and its very easy.
But I have doubts how to do it in rear breaks.
Do you know any tutorial video how can be do it?
See reply to same question in comments 👌👍🐷💪
@@PiggyPower Thanks!
Very helpful
No worries 👍👌🐷💪
Sorry did not explain very well, used your video to fit new discs and pads and that's all fine, but was wondering if you had knowledge of the ABS sensors that bolt through the bottom of the trailing arms, both have the sensor hole uppermost with the retaining bolt below, on the nearside wheel the gap to the reluctor ring is approx 2mm but on the offside wheel its around 20mm. If I was to turn the sensor 180 degrees the gap is approx 2mm but now have nothing to fix to. can send pictures if you like. Regards, Rob
Sounds like wrong sensor fitted 👍
@@PiggyPower Problem solved (Bodged) All research tells me the the sensors are interchangeable between the two rear wheels, but when you look closely at the sensor head it is offset to one side which in this case means you get the correct gap on the nearside but a much larger gap on the offside. In my mind the offside sensor should have the sensor aperture below the bolt hole rather than above, and to prove this I rotated the sensor 180 degrees and made up a bracket which fits over the sensor head and screws into the original bolt hole, so sensor is secure and ABS fault has vanished. As the sensor bolts into the trailing arm its possible the car had the wrong arm fitted at some stage. (Who knows)
which variant of the 206 came with rear discs? because my 2005 petrol hatch has got drums
Loads of them, mostly the sportier stuff, xsi, GTi etc 👍
My 2002 206cc came with rear discs as well.
Have you got a video featuring changing of the wheel bearing? I had to get a new one as the old one disintegrated on removal of old brake drum, I got the bearing pressed into new drum, but when I tried to place on the car, something went wrong and it ended up coming apart. If no video any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Message the Piggypower Facebook page... I'd be glad to try and assist 👍 🐷💪
Thanks for the video.
Though, you don't have to disassemble the caliper, to get the disc off.
I just replaced all 4 brakes, and just got the discs off on both sides of the rear, without removing anything from the caliper, apart from the pads.
Indeed, very true, but you can't do a complete job imo if you do it that way, as you can't check the sliders/regrease them or the pad ear sliders the same.
@@PiggyPower no, can't check the sliders. But everything else can be checked and cleaned :)
But if I did that... I'd have comments asking why I didn't do the caliper sliders 🙈🤦🏻♂️
🐷💪
bit of a silly question is it the same as doing it on a 180 brakes
106/206/306 rear disc brakes are all the same 👌(piston sizes differ, but that's all)
@@PiggyPower thank u for your help
No worries 🐷💪
Nice video, where do you get your torque specs from?
Autodata 99% of the time 👌
🐷💪
A question: When the new brake pads are set in place, are they a bit loose, or do they sit rock hard in place?
If the springs and slider have been fitted correctly they should be free enough to slide side to side with the motion of the caliper but not loose in any way. 👌🐷💪
Piggy Power Thank you for a fast answer! :)
No worries.... Maybe it gets your subscription 😉
Thanks👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No worries! Please subscribe if you feel like it helped ☺️👍🐷💪
Hi! I love your video but I'm having an issue fitting the pads into place. The caliper won't slide at all so I tried removing the two bolts at the back and that helped me get both brakepads into place. However, when I fasten the bolts up the outer pad clings stuck to the disc making it unable to spin at all. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?
Are the caliper sliders free? If not, need to remove, clean up and grease. 👌
Thanks!
Thanks man!
No worries! Smash that subscribe button if you would 😃👍🐷💪
Handbrakes not working after fitting new cables. Ive adjusted it in car, ive pulled the pads out the caliper and you can push the piston in with your fingers? if im right shouldnt it screw in? So im thinking the spindle inside the caliper that the piston goes on has possibly snapped? If i pull the handbrake arm on the caliper it does nothing, the piston does not move out at all.
But it was working fine before you replaced the cables? You touched nothing else?
Yes, you are right, you need to turn the piston to return it in, also, you shouldn't be able to push the piston in just with your fingers! Takes a lot of pressure
Cheers for the quick reply. Someone elses car. He snapped one of cables over-adjusting them at the handbrake, im guessing the cause is the calipers, hence why he was sodding about adjusting them. Ive done plenty of brakes and near enough all rears you twist to move in, so to me it says calipers focked. (ive not looked at the other side) He just got me to replace the cables, which i done and then adjusted them at the handbrake, the arms move on the calipers, but nothing.
May try winding them both back in, if you adjust at the handbrake before pump the calipers out hydraulically, you can mess them up badly. I usually don't touch the cable adjustment untill I've driven the vehicle and bedded those rear brake pads in nicely.
Ive tried winding it in or out, it just spins on the spot and not moves.
Using the proper tool? You need to wind in and push at the same time
Cheers ‼️
10/10 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
hello what mm are u using on the wheel gun at 7:40?
Size of the socket?
@@PiggyPower yes
@@daen1941 listen carefully 7 seconds earlier 😆🙈🐷
😜
What do you do if the slider is stuck, and u can't move it with your hands?🤔
Remove caliper, clamp in vice, spray freeing oil under the dust boots. Leave to soak for 15min. Return and try again. If not, remove from vice and tap with a copper hammer the sliders out one at a time. Clean them and the boots they run in thoroughly and grease before fitment. 👌🐷💪
Thnx for the reply😊
Yes, this is what I like... mmmm....
Its unpractical this sh.t
Im not sure why they dont keep using what they have been using on 60's.
Renault 8 have this kind of brakes from factory. Rear too.
And was easily
Work perfect. Easy to service. Cheap to repair. Very efficient. 🤔
