AHW cleaned and inspected 308 braking system last week, the following weekend was the time for taking another brake. It had already been six months since the last time AHW cleaned and inspected his 206 braking system.
After removing the wheel this is what the visual condition looked like...
Looks dusty isn't it?
308 and 206 are using different types of BOSCH brake, in principle they are the same though. Hence method to remove the pads is not much different except 308 needs 19mm open end spanner as well in addition to the 13mm wrench to remove the bolt which hold the brake caliper to the slider. 206 just needs 13mm wrench. A plier is also needed to pull out 206 brake pads by their 'pins'- such pins do not exist on 308 brake pads.
These are the tools needed to remove 206 brake pads for cleaning and inspection...
13mm box wrench c/w ratchet handle, pliers and prying bar.
Brake Pads Removal Procedures
1. By using prying bar [if u don't have one, a flat screw driver will do] spread the caliper apart. Keep your eyes on brake fluid level in the reservoir which may overflow.
2. There are two bolts holding the movable caliper to the slider guide. Only loosen and remove the lower bolt by using 13mm box wrench.
3. Then simply swing up the movable caliper [using the upper guide as hinge] to expose brake pads.
4. Remove each brake pad by pulling outwards its upper 'safety pin' by using a pair of pliers.
5. Clean and inspect what ever necessary...
After abusing the car for around 50,000km throughout Malayan Peninsular in three years [from sea level to 6666ft Berincang Summit in Cameron Highlands] there are still more than 6mm of material left on front brake pads.
the pad is 6.48 mm left after abusing around 50,000km
Probably the front brake pads on 206 will last up to 80,000km before need replacement to make their lives double than front brake pads on 308.
6. After cleaning and inspecting place back the pads [if they are still usable] and carefully swing down the caliper to its original position...
... then refit the bolt into the lower slider guide and tighten.
It is strongly advisable to apply thread locking compound similar to Loctite and tighten to specified torque..
