Peugeot 408 Brake Disc and Pad Replacement

Показать описание
In this video, I replace the front brake discs and brake pads in my 2013 Peugeot 408 1.6 Turbo. Instructions should be identical for Peugeot 308 petrol models.

My Peugeot discs are 80,000km old, and I am swapping in new Valeo discs and pads.

For the 2013 Peugeot 408, the minimum brake disc thickness is 24mm, and the pad must have at least 2mm of friction material.

Tools and supplies required (some items not the exact ones I used):
- Basic ratcheting wrench
- Hex bit socket adapter
- 17mm socket (Mr DIY)
- E16 E-Torx socket
- 7mm Hex bit
- T-30 Torx bit
- Flat head screwdriver
- C-clamp
- Wire brush (Mr DIY)
- Mallet
- Grease / Copper Anti Seize (Ace Hardware)
- Penetrating Oil (Ace Hardware)
- Gloves (Mr DIY)
- Goggles (Mr DIY)
- Respirator (Mr DIY)
- New Brake Pads and Brake Discs (Mine are from Vanli, along Jalan Ipoh, KL)
- Bucket/box/etc about 40cm tall

Tip: Get all 1/2 inch drive sockets, and some socket adapters, for all the sockets and bits you need. This way, you can use your torque wrench to tighten everything. Make sure to get good quality sockets, or they will break when you try to tighten/loosen stuff... I broke 2 😅

This job took me many weeks as I kept finding out tools I need to buy, so hopefully this list will help you have a smooth go 😊

Hi! My brakes when engine is running keep going to the floor! Is this normal? My Peugeot 408 THP 2018! Thanks!

Nice video. However some important parts missing. Most important, before you push back the piston, you must open the bleeder valve on the caliper. And let brake fluid out as you push back the piston. If you dont do this you damage the abs system because you are forcing brake fluid through the system reverse way. After pushing back the piston, you can close the bleeder valve. And dont forget to top up brake fluid if needed. The second thing is that you need to use lubrication on the hardware where the pads slide.

I had some squealing / screeching sounds after replacing my brakes, which I (sort of) fixed in the new video.
