Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Drums and shoes
Operation: Replacement of the brake shoes on Citroen C3

We want to replace the rear jaws of the Citroen C3? Let's see how they are disassembled and replaced. We unscrew the pins and remove the rim, then, we begin to unscrew the pins of the brake caliper (with a socket wrench) by detaching it from its support. We remove the lid from above the drum, pull the disc towards us with our hands in order to remove it from the ruta hub. Let's get ready to remove the parking brake shoes on the wheel hub. We use brushes to remove all the dirt and residues from the disassembled pieces. Before assembly, lubricate the parts. We mount the parking brake shoes and the drum cover, to finish the circle.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
