Alky Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can anyone help me, i've had trouble with the rear brakes on my Peugeot Boxer Compass Avantgarde 100. I can't see how to release the adjusters to remove the rear drums. Thanks Jim 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinhood Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If they're fully drum brakes, rather than the drum in hat disc brakes, the following link (Ducato, but same system), with pictures may help. http://www.fiatforum.com/ducato/167638-ducato-rear-brakes-binding.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's an 2002 short wheel base. Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks Robin, just had a look at the diagrams, at least i know roughly where everything is now. Thanks Jim :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ....if it isn't obvious, the adjustment is via the knurled wheel marked as 1c in the final diagram. I've actually got a copy on CD of the eLearn manual those diagrams came from, but there isn't anything better (instruction or picture-wise) on it. :-S Edit: typo.

squip Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have just managed to get one of my drums off by using the three extractor bolts and then a couple of levers for the last part. Unusually the pistons have a flat face and do not have a slot which receives the brake shoe. Therefore, as happened to me, when removing the drum, the shoes can dragged outwards with the drum and the flange of the shoe will slip off the piston. After that, if you cannot get the drum off it will not go back again properly either. At that point you MUST succeed in getting the drum off. There is no going back or trying again another day. squip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
