Great video, helped me do mine. My 4 year old 208 with 55,000 miles on it needed new discs and pads. The T55 torx bolts were VERY tight. I had to borrow a very long breaker bar from a mechanic friend and even then twisted one drive bit rather than turn the bolt. Other than that, it's a doddle.
One of the cleanest videos I've seen. It has give me the confidence to try and do the brakes myself next time. I have the peugeot 208 gti. I am guessing it is the same procedure. Cheers
Excellent video simple and informative. One word to the wise from an editing perspective. The music is very loud compared to the rest of the audio when I've got it cranked up to hear you, then you throw the music on nearly burst my ear drum! Try to adjust the level the music comes in at so its more consistent but other than that love it
Thank you very much for this video, really helped a lot, I recently bought a 208 and I’m looking forward to catch an eye on it’s brakes. Had a look at the tools needed, so thank you very much
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Kasen Reign thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
If its the same to a 2008, they are not the same process. The rear disc came out with a 36mm tool and the caliper come out with a torx 45. At the piston, you must have a special push and spin tool. It was a very hard work whitout that tool. Sorry my English
Is there any way to make the part of the discs that is not clamped by the brake pads stop corroding. Did my discs a couple months ago and it has already corroded there.
Over here pads come with clips so theyre no reused. In fact reuse usually leads to brake noise which means a rework. Where I am theres so much road salt reuse isnt an option. Did your set come with clips or is that an extra order item there?
+Jim Goddard Hi Jim, these particular brake pads were a budget brand as the customer said they needed to keep the cost down. The better brands come with new hardware to fit. Thanks for watching.
hi im going to change my rear brake disks on my citroen c4 grand picasso 1.6 vvti on purchasing the parts i choose brembo at euro car parts very good price but i noticed the the wheel bearings are built in to the disks them self which i thought is very stange because of the heat build up that could couse the bearings to fail wht would be the proper torq spec to tighten them up and whts your thoght on the way these are designed thanks your vids are very in depth thanks again
Brake cleaner spray is what you need caliper covers dont exist as its pointless trying to prevent brake dust spreading, also plastic or thin metal covers would melt and obstruct sliding movement of the caliper
Im sure if you keep making as good videos as these on different repair jobs you will soon attract a lot of advertising revenue and be able to give up car repairs and turn your workshop into a car repair studio. Does that appeal or would you miss the seized and stripped bolts, skint knuckles and meeting the public? :-)
David Cadby They are just a tight push fit onto the carrier. Clean underneath up and clip on new ones. Always better to do but this customer wanted budget brand pads.
I was checking my cars suspension yesterday and it looks like someone have messed with the front brakes before as the 2 passenger side brake disc's retaining screws are missing and on the drivers side the 2 brake disc's retaining screws look like they have snapped off and stuck in the hub. When I change the disc's and pads how would you remove the retaining screws and what brand disc's and pads would you use. My local motor factors sells apec brakes which I want to avoid from past experience so the other brand they sell is quinton hazel which would cost £61 for disc's and pads.
Remove the screws with a left hand drill bit and extractor. I would stay away from Apec and Quinton Hazell as I've had Discs warp within months. GSF are doing a good range of Bendix brakes right now. Try the dealers for price, sometimes they surprise you
GSF don't have bendix in stock and if they did they want to know if the vehicle production country was in japan or france. We don't have a local Toyota dealer but online they want £86. I was also thinking of buying buying pagid as some of the Toyota pads are stamped pagid or textar. I've never heard of a left hand drill bit so could you recommend one and what extractor to buy.
Pritesh Champaneri Yep with the lock nut adapter... or in the glovebox, or the door pocket or the ashtray or the under seat tray or the centre console or is it at home?

You made that look so easy. Thanks for the video, I'll be doing my own brake pads soon so this is very handy!
SMcHutcheon Glad it'll help you out. Thanks for watching

Really informative video. Would this be the same process for the 2008 seeing as though it's the same chassis? Asking for a friend 😂

@Kasen Reign it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Roy Derrick no problem :)
Thanks for this video. It has saved me a small fortune.
Good stuff, the key is not to repeat yourself too much. But show different kinds of repairs. Love your channel :-)
Cheers and thanks for showing best practice with cleaning and greasing!
Cheers Rob great video Now i know no horrible surprises re specialised tools and the like when i jack the car up to do the brakes!!!
Yeaa finally someone that used kopperpaste.
Great video! Well explained and very clear 😁👌
Very good video, could you make a video on the rear pads and discs when you get the time...thanks
Brilliant thanks for your informative video ..doing mine tomorrow
Excellent channel, subscribed ! 👍🏻
Are the discs and pads the same for a 2008 ? Also do the rear brakes on a 2008 come with the wheel bearing as part of the disc ?
Great vid Rob...…...like ya style and thanks
Hi,
That was a great video, to replace the rear pads and discs on the 208 is it generally the same process?
Thanks,
James
If its the same to a 2008, they are not the same process. The rear disc came out with a 36mm tool and the caliper come out with a torx 45. At the piston, you must have a
special push and spin tool. It was a very hard work whitout that tool. Sorry my English
Great video
Any chance of a service guide for the 208 please
Thank you !
Great video!
Is there any way to make the part of the discs that is not clamped by the brake pads stop corroding. Did my discs a couple months ago and it has already corroded there.
Unfortunately not unless we move to California ☀️☀️
If you don't mind me asking, which brand brakes did you use?
Brilliant video. Thank you
Do you Haven video from rear?
Yep good vid. are the torx the same size on a rear caliper carrier?
Can’t remember but I would imagine so
Really helpful ! Thanks a lot !
good video
do you need to use thread glue when replacing caliper and carrier bolts??
No sir
Over here pads come with clips so theyre no reused. In fact reuse usually leads to brake noise which means a rework. Where I am theres so much road salt reuse isnt an option. Did your set come with clips or is that an extra order item there?

Make it look easy BIG THANKS

Yes an unusual set up. Renault Meganes are the same on the rear. Sorry can't comment on torque specs for specific vehicles. Thanks for watching
hi wound like rear brakes 208 2013 pad`s could you show how, do they come off easy because of handbrake does this get in the way?
Great video! What is the brand of the disc and pads, please?
I can’t remember. Brembo are the best for quality. Depends on your budget.
Great video. Thanks.
Hi what are the socket types and sizes needed 🤔
Do you not to check the torque on then wheel nuts when putting them back on? if so what is the manufactures torque setting?
M Kenny See 14:20 for torquing the wheel bolts. Look in your manual for the specs
Good job
Does the Pergoet 208 have break calipar covers? Because mine builds up breaks dust very quickly.
Brake cleaner spray is what you need caliper covers dont exist as its pointless trying to prevent brake dust spreading, also plastic or thin metal covers would melt and obstruct sliding movement of the caliper
How do I contact you for your service?
I need few things sorting out for Peugeot 208 car.

+flaskandsarnies Fixing em is my bread & butter :)
Does anyone know if this will be the same process for a 15 plate 108?
also how easy is it to replace the hardwear on the front discs as my pads came with the metal clips. ..cheers

Thancks for this Vidie
When's the next video out Rob?
What are the rubber sleeves for on the top caliper pins?
dredd wailing For damping effect when the pin slides in and out
Special tools in the boot for those caps
Pritesh Champaneri Yep with the lock nut adapter... or in the glovebox, or the door pocket or the ashtray or the under seat tray or the centre console or is it at home?
What did you torque the carrier & caliper bolts up to?
+Big_Gooch The carrier to hub was 105Nm so about the same as the road wheels. The calliper to carrier is 30Nm so a firm hand tight.
Hi, Great video. Is this the same Torque setting for a 2013 1.0 litre 208? Thanks.
mrmrmrmrmr shebz Yep 👍
Is it the same for a 1.6gti?
Excellent video, but you need a face mask because you are brushing brake dust. Other than the mask 10/10.
bravissimo grazie
