Brake caliper cleaning and lubrication

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Brake discs

Oxidation and brake dust contamination can somehow seize the floating brake caliper system not ensuring proper release after braking; in order to verify this circumstance, place the car on suitable stands and remove the front wheel: if you notice that the disc does not rotate freely by hand, then it is necessary to intervene. Disassemble the brake calliper, extract the pads, remove the sliding plates and the fixing pins complete with rubber pads; clean the caliper support with a special spray and a metal brush, lubricate the pins and the sliding plates and reinstall the pads and caliper: you will notice at this point that the pads retract more easily and the disc rotates freely.

How do you reset the tire pressure light on the Toyota Aygo X?
