Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Brake rotors

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the front brake discs on a first-generation Citroen C3, produced from 2002 to 2009. First, lift the car and remove the wheel; now, using a 13mm spanner, unscrew the two bolts, one upper and one lower, of the brake caliper and remove it along with the brake pads. Once done, use a Torx bit T55 to unscrew the two rear bolts holding the caliper bracket in place and remove it to free the disc. Now, using a Torx bit T30, unscrew the two screws that secure the disc to the wheel hub and remove it to fit a new one. Follow the procedure in reverse to reassemble everything.
