Brake cylinder rewind tool for 2009 C5

Post by Bob L'eponge »

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a brake cylinder rewind kit that will definitely fit a 2009 X7 C5, 1.6 Hdi? I have seen some multi-adaptor kits on eBay at a good price, but can't confirm for sure that they will fit the above car. A kit that just fits my vehicle would be fine.

Thanks!

I used a Laser 1314 on my 2.0hdi and it worked great..
Dont know if they are the same calipers though.

i dont know about the later C5's but the earlier ones have one right and one left hand threaded caliper piston,

this requires a left and a right hand threaded wind back tool as in the link below

Thanks for the replies, but one listing on eBay says that the tool that fits the older C5 does not fit the latest version. I don't know if this is correct and was hoping that someone had actually done this job after buying the tools. I will look again at the Citroen technical documentation to see what it says.

I am guessing slightly as we havnt had loads of MK111 C5's for rear brakes yet, is the C5 you have an electric brake ?
The ordinary cable ones are nothing special in the wind back tool dept. The piston is just smaller, similar to a C4 ot Pug 307 as far as I know, a universal,one will do fine.
