Xantia MK II - Rebuilding front caliper

Post by lancia58 »

Hi

The front caliper started to leak , using Citroen part number 95667818 "FRONT BRAKE PISTON SEALING KIT" I want to rebuild it. If it was the rear caliper it was straight forward. The front caliper also has the handbrake leaver mechanism and it might be complicated. Any help is welcome .


Thanks

The Handbrake mechanism does not complicate it Zohar, just wind the piston right out and then proceed with the overhaul...

Once the piston is out you can dismantle the handbrake mechanism if you wish but it's likely there will be no need to.
