Hi, thanks for the comment and great to hear from someone in Tenerife

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Just bought one of these fo £80 in great nick. Insanely good value. (It even has 3 months MOT)

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Superb, its worth more than that in scrap alone. Cut the cat out before you go to scrap it as it could well be worth £80 if you give it to them seperatley, thats before scrapping the rest of it. Although having said that there are 206s out there changing hands for this sort of value that have years of driving left in them good wee cars if the axle is ok.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV It has only does 120000K so theres alot of life left in it. I' bee changing the cambelt and some other wear and tear items. all in will be less than £200. As long as the rust is kept at bay it probably has 10 years left in it and changing the axle bearings is just a little fiddly but also a learning experience.

[@toyotoe3732]

Thank you

i'm asking a question about the Peugeot 106 Clutch Change video becouse i can't get the engine side axle out and on the video u didn't show how to get it out and i can't find anything on the internet

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

m4fis _ Hi the drivers side driveshaft goes through the lower engine mount and has a bearing where it goes through It may be easier to see it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/raakYp-lpL56fpo

That’s how I drive my wife’s 206 when she’s not looking. Maybe that’s why I’m looking at brake replacement videos haha I have 1 rear brake that locks up super easy. Sketchy with no abs

Hi thanks for the comment, hi from Ireland

[@t1000eg]

Would changing the brake cylinder at the same time be more beneficial as these are prone to leaks...?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Only if it is leaking, they are fairly cheap to replace but i would not change a wheel cylinder unless it needed it.

[@youbold4]

Very good and thanks, however, you put the adjuster nut the wrong way when you put it back! x

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Possibly although i must have swapped it round as my mate drove it for another couple of years, its off the road now snapped timing belt he was not a fan of maintenance even though i was offering to do the work for free if he bought the belt kit.

[@martinramsey114]

You used an impact wrench to remove the 32mm nut. I am going to be doing this to my car soon. Is the 32mm socket a thin walled socket, or is it a standard impact socket? Thanks.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

hi there, it is a impact socket if used on the gun

[@martinramsey114]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thanks for the response. I see it was some time ago since you did this. I don't expect you to remember what the area around the big nut was. But what I'm trying to work out, is there enough space to get a standard impact socket around the nut? Or, do you think I would be better getting a thin wall impact socket? I' just about to order the socket!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@martinramsey114 Hi there, there should be plenty of room around it for a standard impact socket. I have a set of impact sockets but they are no name branded ones, seldom an issue with access.

[@royharkins7066]

Thanksa mate, just thought I’d take a peek as I’d almost completed the job of my metal to metal shoes, and BINGO I found the circlip was missing, because the bearing dropped out ! Do you think this could have aided the brake linings to brake up in the way they did ? Cheers mate Roy

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Is it not a nut that holds the wheel bearing in place?

[@royharkins7066]

Yes it’s the nut ! Of course it’s the nut , you show a circlip holding the bearing in its housing , hence my question to you ...cheers

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@royharkins7066 Sorry its been a few years since i did this job, Trying at the moment to look back through the video on a 3G connection what time in the video do i remove a circlip?

@@peugeotCitroen2CV No problems and thanks for your time, thinking about it I don’t think it’s critical, an extra bit of fail safe in case bearing breaks up and starts to add extra torque too un do nut , it’s done 20k with out them, I’ll order a pair and fit anyways🥳 nice hand braking BTW my mate thought it was me in his car LOL Take care Take risk

[@MrGerter1]

Hi there, great video! Question trying to replace the shoes on my 2002 206 - one of the drums came off ok, but the other one is stuck ... it rotates fine, and I can rattle it back and forwards a few mm, but doesn't want to come off. What would you recommend to get it off? Thanks

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there The adjuster wheel inside that adjusts the two brake shoes it needs to be fully slackened and obviously double check the handbrake lever is fully down. There may be a bit of a lip inside the drum and doing this will help get the drum over the shoes.

[@MrGerter1]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Wow such a fast reply! I did move the adjuster, wasn't sure if I was tightning or loosening it, but watching the end of your video I think I now know what way it goes. Will give it another go, thanks again!

[@MrGerter1]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Hi again, I managed to get the adjuster pretty close to the end, but didn't seem to make any difference to the drum. I'm thinking about using a drum puller, but worried it might snap the shoe retention pins. Have you had any experience using a puller? I wouldn't worry if I could find the pins easy enough, but doesn't seem to be any in my country ...

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@MrGerter1 Hi, ive used a large bearing puller on a drum in the past. It can indeed damage the shoe retention pins or the shoes however those are the parts that are due replacement? Google Peugeot 206 brake drum hardware for a replacement pin and spring kit. However usually the drum will wiggle off, if you get a good pair of thick gloves on to protect your fingers from nipping rock the drum about a bit and pull with a decent amount of force it should get past the ridge thats holding it in place.

[@MrGerter1]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Hey mate, thanks again for your replies. Last night I finally got it off with a puller! Was careful to not break anything and it came off cleanly. Putting the new shoes back on was a nightmare though! Wish I did have a spring kit cause they were some solid springs to put back on, a lot more movement in your springs in the video. Took a lot of elbow grease to get them suckers back on. Reason I couldn't get a kit was a needed this thing running ASAP as it's my only vehicle, otherwise wouldn't have minded waiting for shipping :)

[@dha12oks]

Hi, any idea how hard it'd be to replace the brake hose pipe on the rear wheel, which is also uses drum brakes? Like what type of precautions must I make to ensure nothing goes wrong etc. Thanks.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi, in general, they are not too hard to do with the right tools Is the affected hose on your car the rubber flexible part or the steel/copper brake line? In either case, the old damaged section is unbolted and the new one bolted back into place, then the brakes will need to be bled. To bleed the brakes its possible to use the two-person technique (plenty of videos on youtube on bleeding brakes), I personally have a brake bleeder that pressurises the brake hydraulic circuit and makes it easier to bleed the brakes. If you have a damaged or corroded steel/copper pipe you will need to make up a new section. I have not made a video on this as any time I've needed to do it its been in too much of a rush to do a video. Nonetheless, there are plenty of videos on how to make up brake lines, the required flare tools can be bought from a motor factors shop for about £20-30. Precautions i can give is to avoid getting brake fluid on bodywork as it can damage paint and lead to rust, if any gets spilt clean it off with brake parts cleaner.

[@dha12oks]

​@@peugeotCitroen2CV Cheers for the response, it's the actual pipe itself, just did some YTing and found one guy making his own brake pipe line, which I don't have the tool for xD I'll see if I can think of anything, thanks.

[@mattyg4k233]

Strange, is this an early model 206? my 2002 106 has self adjusting drum brakes. Admittedly I couldn't manage to release them in the drum and pulled the entire unit out :)

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

It is an early 206, bit of a fiddly setup on this one compared to the 106/saxo drums.

[@alexbowie6316]

What size socket is the hub nut?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Sorry i did not take a note of it, something i make sure to do in any more recent videos as it does tend to get asked especially as after 30mm most socket sets stop. I had a 40mm and 36mm socket at the time this video was made. There is always the owners club where the socket size may be a more recent memory in someones mind.

[@VicReeves]

ROFL that ending. Do these brake adjusters adjust automatically as the shoes wear?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Haha had to end with something a bit better than a blank screen. Yes those adjusters should tighten the shoes up as they wear. My mate bought this car from me, never checked the oil or water since i sold it after this video and cooked it. The handbrake still holds.

[@VicReeves]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV Thanks for reply. LOL always at least one mate who doesn't know about the oil and coolant in a car, usually the one who drives like he's in F1.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Not really, one of those jobs that is a typical starting point towards DIY maintenance, the springs can be a bit fiddly to get into place but after doing it a few times it gets easier
