Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Let's Get Your C6 Stopping Sweet with TRW!
> Your brake pads are the unsung heroes of your Citroen C6's stopping power, turning all that go-fast energy into heat to bring you to a halt. As you clock up the KMs, that friction material gets used up, which can make your brakes less effective and, frankly, a bit dodgy, especially with a solid European cruiser like the C6.
Signs It's Time to Get Your Hands Dirty (or Call Bob!)
• Hear any squealing or grinding when you hit the anchors?
• Taking a bit longer to pull up than usual?
• Feeling a funny wobble through the brake pedal or steering wheel?
• Brake pedal feeling a bit squishy or soft?
• Got a warning light glaring at you from the dash?
• Can you see the pad material looking a bit thin, like a well-worn jandal?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate, no chance. If your brake pads are too thin or causing your C6 to brake unevenly, it's an instant WOF fail. We're all about safety on our New Zealand roads, and good brakes are non-negotiable.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a challenge, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle (Factor in a cafe lunch break, why not?)
Tools Required: Jack, sturdy jack stands (safety first!), wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or a proper brake caliper piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and maybe a brake fluid bleeder kit if you're feeling ambitious.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
