Introduction
How to change brake pads and discs on Twingo 1 Phase 1 X06 before 1998, which differ from other phases. Fortunately it's simpler!
You want to change the brake pads and discs on your Twingo. Unfortunately, you can't find any tutorial with the system that equips your car...
Well that's normal! Your Twingo is an X06, the very first phase (before 1998)!
It is only equipped with disc brakes at the front, and with a special system.
(by the way, your engine must also seem strange to you... It's a Cléon-Fonte engine, which quickly disappeared from the assembly lines, replaced by the D7F!)
But don't panic, here is (finally) a tutorial that concerns your braking system. And good news, it's even simpler than the others!
-
-
Unscrew the wheel bolts, then lift the car at the front and place it on jack stands. Remove the wheels.
-
Uncap the brake fluid reservoir to allow the level to rise when pushing the piston back.
-
Using a flat screwdriver, reach between the inner pad and the disc.
-
Use lever to gently push the piston back into its housing.
-
-
-
Now you need to remove the key that holds the plates. Start by removing the pin.
-
Using a screwdriver, pliers, or a tool with a long but flat end, push the key outward. If necessary, use a hammer to gently tap the tool.
-
-
-
Remove the pads and compare them with the new ones.
-
Remember to keep the key, its pin, and the removable anti-noise springs present on the plates!
-
-
-
Using a Torx key, unscrew the two screws holding the discs. You can block the rotation of the axle by changing gear. If necessary, use WD40.
-
Once the disc is detached, you just have to remove it by rotating it.
-
If the disc does not come off by itself, tap gently with a mallet, or use penetrating oil (if it still does not come off, other techniques exist on the internet).
-
-
-
Use brake cleaner and a wire brush to clean the hub and brake caliper.
-
Compare the old and new disk.
-
Spray brake cleaner and wipe the new disc with a microfiber cloth to remove the protective layer of grease.
-
-
-
Place the new brake disc.
-
Tighten the Torx screws.
-
Replace the pads.
-
-
-
Replace the key using a hammer if necessary.
-
Also place the anti-noise springs.
-
Replace the pin on the key.
-
-
-
Close the brake fluid reservoir.
-
Put the wheels back on and lower the car.
-
Remember to pump the brake pedal until it feels hard before starting!
-
And there you have it! Your car has regained effective braking!
