How to Replace the Front Brake Disc and Pads on a Citroen Xsara Picasso

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Brake rotors

How to replace the front brake disc and pads on a Citroen Xsara Picasso? Let's look at removing a front brake disc. Position the car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height; remove the wheel. Start by unscrewing the pins of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket; use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads. Remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the pins on the brake disc (using a Torx screwdriver), then pull the disc towards you to detach it from the wheel hub. Fit the new brake disc with all the securing pins; tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper.
