Hello,
I have just taken the front wheels off to have a look at the brake pads in my Citroen c3. Haynes says the limits are 13mm new to 2mm minimum. I guess I am about halfway between the two extremes.
The car has done about 68000 miles and has had the pads changed once before.
However I noticed the discs have a bit of a lip. Haynes says they should be 22mm new to 20mm minimum. I measured 20mm with a micrometer, so I guess I will be having to change the discs and pads.
Is there anything I should know before I start?
Do I need a special tool to rewind the piston? Haynes says to just push it back with a clamp but It hought Citroens had to be turned and pushed and I thought they had to be turned backwards?
I have seen some rewind kits that turn the piston one way and some dearer kits that have a tool that rewinds the other way, and I thought pesky citroens used the expensive "wrong" way tool.
Is this not the case on the c3?
TIA
