Peugeot 407 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 407 MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Replacement front brake discs

Damaged brake discs can compromise braking so it is better to replace them. Remove the brake caliper using a ratchet wrench by unscrewing the two rear screws. Disassemble the caliper support in the same way after removing the pads. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws holding the disc holding it still. Carefully clean the substrate from encrustations using a deoxidizing spray and wire brush. Clean new discs before installation to remove the preservative grease layer. Refit the disc by aligning the fixing holes. To fasten the bracket and caliper, use new screws if possible, otherwise clean and lubricate the old ones. Clean with an iron brush to remove the bulk of the accumulated dirt. Reposition the piston at the start of the stroke and fit the new pads. Refit the caliper and wheel.

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.
