Before lifting the vehicle for brake pads replacement
|
Remove the wheel bolts covers if available.
Slacken just a little each of the bolts. Block the opposite wheel with any object to prevent the car from moving once lifted. |
|
Lifting and securing the vehicle in order to replace the rear brakes
|
Lift your vehicle in the intended place only.
Use one or more jack stands to secure it. Keep the hydraulic lifter in place along with the jack stand. See more about how to safely lift a vehicle... |
|
Taking out the used rear brake pads of the Peugeot 5008 or any car
|
1- The caliper needs to be removed for accessing the brake pads.
|
2- You also need to release the handbrake.
|
3- The caliper is held by 2 bolts. In some cases you need two spanners, one for the caliper bolt and one for holding the counter nut.
|
|
4- Remove the bolts.
|
5- Upon removing the first bolt, the caliper may rotate already around the other one freeing the pads.
|
6- Take out the pads.
|
Note: rotating the caliper around one of the bolts won't be enough for later pushing back the piston. You need to remove both bolts and dismantle the caliper. Leave the hydraulic hose and the handbrake cable connected.

Pushing back the caliper piston of the rear brakes
Unlike front brakes, you will not be able to push back the piston simply by applying a pressure with a C-clamp for example. If so, the handbrake won't be able to keep the pads in contact with the rotors.
The method consists of applying a pressure while rotating the piston clockwise.
The method consists of applying a pressure while rotating the piston clockwise.
|
1- Start by fixing a C-clamp and apply pressure on the piston.
|
2- You can buy a specific tool, yet an angle grinder tool also does the job.
|
3- Keep in mind that you would need to purchase a tool if the one in hand doesn't fit.
|
|
4- Rotate the piston by 1/8th of a turn then apply pressure with the C-clamp to push it back.
|
5- Repeat the procedure a few times until the piston is completely pushed back into its seat.
|
|
Fitting new brake pads and accessories on the Peugeot 5008
|
The new pads are supplied with a set of fixing clips and bolts.
|
4 bolts and 4 clips are included in this set.
|
Replace the pad holding clip with the new one as shown. Do not reuse the existing.
Place the pads in their holders and refit the caliper, hold it temporarily with the new bolts without tightening them yet.
Check the following:
-That the pad springs are well in contact with the caliper body (left)
-That the hydraulic hose and the handbrake cable are not distorted or bent (middle)
Tighten the bolts, reverse all above operations, lower the car, and block the wheel on the side where you just intervened prior to repeating the replacing the brake pads on the other side.

Final checklist before driving your Peugeot 3008 - 5008
- Turn on the engine WITHOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
- Press the brake pedal several times until it becomes stiff as usual. Do not continue to "pump".
- Apply the handbrake and make sure it is stiff as usual or that the light comes on if it is electrically operated.
- Drive and test gently the brakes. Avoid strong braking during the first 100Km after pad replacement.
