Peugeot Frustration Reloaded [ping Cicero]

[Vortex5]

I've been sorting out a binding brake on a Peugeot 106.

Quoting Cicero in previous thread.

Spot on mate!

Lining was detached. It's on the floor right here.

fixed now (new shoes and new nuts of course)

Thanks.

Tsk Tsk.

That should NOT happen.

And all copper greased to the nines we hope.

Good feeling to drive a car that you absolutely KNOW fora fact has its brakes in proper working order, cos you did it yourself.

I hope that you are not suggesting putting the old copper grease on the linings as well?

Just being a bit mischievous. LOL

Yup

And by the way I took another photo but due to operator incompetence it as not visible.

Both here:

Well done! Glad to have been able to offer a little help.

That second photo is excellent - shows exactly where to go in to release the self adjuster.

and new wheel cylinders ?

In article , Cicero writes

Looks like one of the rubber boots is coming off the brake cylinder.

It's a long time since I did any DIY car mechanics, but if that was my car I'd be fitting a new cylinder and shoes and cleaning everything up thoroughly. Or would that be unnecessary?

[Vortex5]

That was literally immediately after removing the drum. I took the photo because the pics on the ancient Haynes book that came with the car have the contrast of potato prints. Wanted to be sure where to replace the springs.

Of course I cleaned it all up. There were no hydraulic leaks or drips so I left the cylinder in situ.

All my previous brake shoe experience was in the 1970's and 80's on BMC vehicles, which IIRC all used Lockheed brakes with manual adjusters. I clearly recall the frustrating 3 stage process of removing the shoes; then realising a new slave cylinder is needed [go out on bicycle to obtain cylinder] then shearing off the brake pipe [go out on bicycle again to obtain brake pipe] then finding a helper to bleed the brakes - all making a

1 hour process take a day. D

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Mark saying something like:

Certainly signs of seepage.

[Mark]

absolutely, and this is for his children to drive "There were no hydraulic leaks or drips" SHGTS
