Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Brake discs
Operation: How to replace the front brake disc on a Citroen C3

In this video tutorial we can see how to replace the front brake discs on a first generation Citroen C3, produced from 2002 to 2009. First we lift the car and remove the wheel, now with a 13mm wrench we unscrew the two screws, one top and bottom of the brake caliper and remove it together with the pads. Having done this with a Torx bit T55 wrench, unscrew the two rear bolts that hold the caliper support in place and remove it to free the disc. Now unscrew with a Torx bit T30 the two screws that fix the disc to the wheel hub and remove it and then mount a new one. We follow the procedure in reverse to reassemble everything.

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.
