9 With the caliper pushed inwards, insert the
inner pad then push the caliper outwards and
insert the outer pad. If offset pads are fitted, it
is important to fit these pads in the correct
positions as shown (see illustration). The
inner pads with pad wear wires must be
located at the top of the caliper.
10 Check that the pads are correctly
positioned on the caliper lip and with the anti-
rattle springs in place (see illustration) then
tap in the upper sliding key to lock them. Fit
the sliding key clip.

11 Extract the spring clips and tap out the
pad retaining pins. Disconnect the pad wear
wiring as necessary (see illustration).
12 Lever the cylinder outwards and withdraw
the outer pad then push in the caliper and
withdraw the inner pad. Recover the anti-
squeal shims (if fitted) noting their positioning
with regards to the pad retaining pins - refer
to paragraph 14.
13 Clean and check the caliper, as described
in paragraph 7, then clean the backs of the
pads and apply a little anti-squeal brake
grease. Note that, as from early 1985, a
special spring is fitted to the inner pads to
prevent pad knock within the caliper. The
spring (obtainable from Peugeot dealers) may
be fitted to earlier models by tapping the inner
pad control rivet through the backing plate so
that the clip may be located on both sides
(see illustration).
14 With the caliper pushed inwards, insert
the inner pad then push the caliper outwards
and insert the outer pad. Note that from
chassis no 5 600 000, an anti-squeal shim
was fitted between the inner pads and the
caliper pistons, being located on both upper
and lower pad retaining pins. However, as
from chassis no 5 957 000, the shim was
modified, being located only on the lower pad
retaining pin (see illustrations). When fitting
the anti-squeal shims, the arrow cut-out must
face downwards (ie in the forward rotational
direction of the disc).
15 Tap in the pad retaining pins and fit the
spring clips.
16 Where fitted, hook the anti-knock spring
on the lower pad retaining pin.
