Replacement of Rear Brake Shoes

Model: Dacia Logan MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Brake pads

If you notice that the braking of the rear wheels has become inefficient and especially that the handbrake lever has a long travel, it means the rear brake shoes are worn. To replace them, lift the vehicle on a ramp, remove the rear wheel, take off the cap at the centre of the hub, and unscrew the underlying nut to remove the drum. At this point, disconnect the retaining springs of the shoes and the handbrake cable to remove them from their housing. Clean the shoe housing thoroughly, ensuring that the activation cylinder does not leak oil. Transfer the springs to the new shoes and secure them to the hub support. It is also advisable to lightly sand the inside of the drum before reinstalling it.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
