HOW TO: Front brakes, Peugeot 206 

Great video probably the best most straightforward guide I've seen for doing 206 brakes. I used your tip on adjusting rear drums worked great. Keep these 206 videos coming. ATB Steve

Thanks for the great tutorial. I feel confident enough to give it a go now. Cheers. 👍

I just regreased my pads cause I was getting a nice little squeal from them. Then strangely enough I noticed you posted this, which was handy, because at least I can confirm I did everything correctly haha

Great video mate, mine has pad rattle.

One of the best video I have seen for changing pad and disc.. excellent work. thank you.

7:30 is what makes this video absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for the video, I haven't done brakes in about 15 years and that was on a fiesta so this refresher was good. Also if anyone needs to bleed their brakes afterwords the nipple is 8mm

Awesome, that’s really helpful. Thank you 👍

Great! It is very easy to understanding. Many thanks!

Brilliant mate just what I needed

Well Done - Another excellent professional, clear, concise How To Video. Perhaps you could do a future video on how best to get audio from a Bluetooth Smartphone hooked up to the non Bluetooth Pug audio - lots of cheap options! and you could add the best one to your Piggy shop. Best regards and keep making them - Paul.

very useful channel.

Will be using this in a few weeks! Buying a 306 front caliper kit t change all the covers and rubbers etc 👍👍

lovely tutorial i like the way you explain everything thums up buddy

simple excellence, 10 out of 10

Very nice video,thx.

Well done pal i will now do my own as i find garages charge an arm and a leg lol

Good advice to put copper lube behind the disc... Thx👌

Perfect, help a lot!

2022.. thx for a video a made small mistake xD

Super love u videos .make caliper rebuild and painting

Also i just subscribed 😎

Thank you mate

I am doing my first brake job changing brake discs so I was wondering if it is necessary to put new bolts for caliper (19 mm). Some manuals say “new caliper mounting bolts will be needed on refitting”. Thanks a lot for helpful videos.

Whether discs or drums are better on the rear axle? I have 206 1.4. I plan to put ventilated disks on front and replace drums with disc on rear.

Hey Piggy, great channel. I'm fairly near you, a bit north, where can I find a good pick n pull scrappy in these parts? A good one on Leamington closed a while back. Grr. TIA

Hi. Thanks for the Vid. On 10:30 - what will happen if copper slip was applied on the mounting bracket bolts (the ones that get tightened really tight) ? Could it result in the bolt in sliding off later on?

How is it that you are able to rotate the rotor with driveshaft? It’s in park or neutral?

Hi Piggy, I have a 206 GTI 180, 200,000kms, the standard front discs are a bit worn, are there bigger discs and callipers that will bolt straight on? Great vids btw.

What grease should be used on the sliders if needed?

I have a Peugeot 206 1.4I...can I put ventilated disks?

I subscribed too

Can i apply this to a 2005 Peugeot Boxer? Is it as straight forward to change the brake shoes?

Don't use copper grease, its petroleum based and that will swell the rubbers. Use ceramic grease like already was used. Also do not use copper grease on the carrier/ears or as you called eh " gulleys", in the beginning it wont matter but after 5.000 km the dust from the pads will get into the grease and create a hard stiff goo, doing the exact oposite of why you put the grease there. Clean up the carrier better, make sure thats clean. Regular brake dust will wash away when cleaning car/ rain, but not if combined with grease. Also, when pushing the piston back in the caliper, its better to open up the bleed nipple, and with every brake job you should always bleed the brakes anyway... at least push out the lower fluid a bit.

19MM socket was NOT true for me so be aware . I had a T50 if i remember correctly (for the caliper mount) , the 13mm for the 'pad change' was correct . Overall a great tutorial , just be aware , that buying 10€ worth of tools will be no guarantee , and it's quite upsetting to find out in the middle of the job that, some important tool is missing . note2 , the piston can be pressed in by hand , it's not that easy, but is doable in a pinch . (a clamp of sorts is much recommended)

But didnt you have to bleed out the brakes to get rid of all the air inside brakes fluid?

WD40 eats rubber!

Everything went fine but both bolts cracked. Ok I wont change my pads then.

HOW NOT TO: Front brakers...OMG...You put rusty brakes to new brake pads. Genius. You should do regeneration for this rubbish brakes.
