Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Drums and shoes
Operation: How do you replace the rear brake shoes on a Citroën C3?

In order to replace the rear brake shoes on the Citroën C3, the car must be lifted so that the wheel corresponding to the brake to be replaced can be removed by unscrewing the fixing bolts. Once the wheel has also been completely removed, it will be possible to unscrew the central nut that fixes the drum, removing it and accessing the underlying jaws. The jaw hooks will have to be detached from the corresponding springs, so that the old jaws can be replaced with the new ones; after the replacement it will be possible to reassemble all the previously removed components.

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.
