Fitting 306 Brakes!!!

[The Question Asker]

Hi,
I'm just asking if anyone has any guides to fitting brakes on a Pug 306
1.9TD, I wanna replace the discs and pads on the front wheels. I have done this on a Citroen ZX using a haynes guide but don't have one for a Pug, Cheers for any help Oli

Its basicly the same as the citroen

i figured it was but dont have the guide for the zx anymore any sites that have good guides

 

[Cheater2k]

well its pretty easy, cos its the same on my 406, its just 2 alan key bolts, and the 2 screws for the disc from what i remember

undo 2 x 17mm bolts at the back of the caliper, lift clear.

You going to have to look on your caliper. The make should be engraved on it. The other make, I think, is Teves, which is the usual one.

 

[SimonDS]

Teves is stamped Ate on the caliper.

2 types.lucas and bendix............one type has ears on the pads, the other doesnt..... it will also be printed on the brake master cylinder resevoir cap.

 

[SimonDS]

all the 306 D'turbos are Ate front calipers (according to dealer). It's stamped on top of caliper and you'll see it without removing the wheel

Err, no. It can have a totally different master cylinder to whatever it has on the pads. The shoes can be different too. You could have all three makes fitted to your car!! The only way of telling is by looking.

The only way to be sure is buy both and ask for a refund one you take thewrong ones back or take the pads of first.oops and get someone to take you.
