TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
Remove both wheels.
Remove the mounting nuts for the anti-roll bar on
the lower wishbones.
Release the anti-roll bar downwards.
Remove:
- the nut and key on the stub-axle carrier,
- the two mounting bolts for the wishbone on
the sub-frame,
- the wishbone.
REFITTING
NOTE :
ensure the plastic protective washer ( A ) is
present on the lower ball joint shaft.
Refit:
- the wishbone,
- the two bolts, without tightening them,
- the ball joint shaft in the stub-axle carrier and
tighten the key nut.
Refit the anti-roll bar and fit the mounting nuts
using tool Sus. 1414 (see method in anti-roll bar
section).
This tool allows the rubber mounting to be
compressed to fit the nut.
NOTE : bounce the suspension and tighten the
wishbone and anti-roll bar bearing nuts to the re-
commended torque (tightening position: vehicle
unladen).

REMOVAL
Disconnect the wear warning light wire (if fitted).
Push the piston back, sliding the caliper by hand.
Remove the lower brake caliper guide bolt.
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED

guide bolt.
Tighten the guide bolt to the recommended
torque 4 daN.m.
Reconnect the wear warning light wire (if fitted).
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
piston into contact with the pads.

REPAIR
NOTE :
if there are any scratches in the caliper
bore, the complete caliper must be replaced.
To do this:
- remove the brake caliper,
- remove the rubber dust cover,
- remove the piston using compressed air,
inserting a wooden block between the caliper
and the piston to prevent damage to the
piston: any trace of damage to the piston skirt
will render it unusable
- remove the seal from the caliper groove using
a flexible rounded edge blade (eg feeler
gauge).
Clean the parts using methylated spirits.
Replace any faulty parts using original parts and
then refit the seal, piston and dust seal.
REMOVAL
In the passenger compartment, fit a pedal press
(limits the amount of brake fluid which will run
out).
Release the brake pipe at the wheel cylinder end.
Remove the brake pads (see previous page).
Remove the two mounting bolts for the caliper on
the stub axle carrier.
Completely release the brake pipe by turning the
caliper.
Check the condition of the pipe and replace it if
necessary.
REFITTING
Fit the pipe onto the caliper.
Remove the pedal press.
To check the correct operation of the caliper
cylinder, slacken the bleed screw and wait for
brake fluid to run out.
Retighten the bleed screw.
Refit the caliper on the stub axle carrier and
tighten the bolts to the recommended torque.
Refit the pads and the wheel cylinder (follow the
method described previously).
