HDI estate rear Brakes & cables - cully - 28-07-2012 went out today to try and make my handbrake better so after collecting all the parts over a few weeks it had to be done today and it was sunny so bonus parts 2x disc's 4x pads 1x fitting kit 2x handbrake cables so started off by removing the wheels and taking photos of the spring clips that retain the pads as i will/did forget there fitment took it all apart and found the pad retaining pins seized so had to chisel them out so good job i bought a fitting kit wind back pistons FTW! cleaned it all up and refitted the new stuff referring to the spring clip pictures for reference handbrake cables weren't to bad to replace had to remove the rear part of the centre console to access the 8mm adjusting nut on the back or the handbrake lever my drivers side cable was broken on the outer sheath so it was a good job had to chisel the outer ends out off the calliper fixed points but no biggie. also what a crappy way of hanging cables by squeezing the metal clamp carriers until they bite the cable outers went for a drive brakes feel better will wait till the pads bed in before i comment on the handbrake! RE: HDI estate rear Brakes & cables - lolsteve - 29-07-2012 Changed vw polo rear brakes the other day, needed some special tool though to adjust the piston back far enough to get the pads on do you not need one of these for the 306? RE: HDI estate rear Brakes & cables - cully - 30-07-2012 no nothing special as long as it fits into the slots i used an offcut of angle shelving to turn the pistons in RE: HDI estate rear Brakes & cables - cully - 30-07-2012 he he! ive got a handbrake that holds the car on a hill now, i can also do hillstarts without rolling back without ballancing the clutch RE: HDI estate rear Brakes & cables - Connor - 30-07-2012 Enjoy it whilst it lasts won't be like that for long |
