Hi All

Would very much appreciate some guidance, my wife’s c3 has only completed 10k but I have noticed the inner side of both front disks are badly coroded, rear disks are actually not as bad But will attempt changing the rears after I have done the fronts.

I can’t find a workshop manual anywhere for the c3 mk2 , does anyone have any recommendations where I can get one?

I understand the from Caliper bolts are T55 (at least for Mk1, can someone confirm if this is the same for mk2 and if they are threadlocked.

I also can’t seem to find the torque setting for mk2 with the larger disks , seems the 1.6 has the biggest size they fitted to the mk2.

Thank you in advance
Rob

Procedure is the same for other front disc braking systems. The caliper rewind tool is Facom D.60A

But there are other DIY focused brake rewind tools compatible with the C3 available on eBay.
