Front Brake pad change

Post by pug406col »

Hi

Have done the search on here for advice.

Are there any special tools required when dealing with the front calipers (ie what bolts are on the caliper etc.)

I am adapt at changing various pads on different cars and manufacturers models, but havent done a peugeot 406 yet.

Regards

No special tools, although you may want to pop to the dealer first and get a replacement pin just in case - I've had one snap on me and I think I'm not the only one. My dealer had it in stock too, which is a fairly telling sign.
