Steps to remove the rear brake disc of a Citroen C-Quatre: 1. Check the specific parameters and model of the brake pads, and prepare the necessary tools for removal. 2. First, lift the car and place two wheel chocks in front and behind the tire to prevent the car from moving and causing an accident after being raised. 3. After slightly supporting the car body with a jack, loosen the tire bolts. 4. Use specialized tools to remove the two fixing bolts of the rear tire. For the rear wheel brake, it needs to be pressed in while rotating. 5. After loosening the bolts and the corresponding switches, remove the rear brake disc one by one according to the installation sequence.
I often repair my Citroën C4 myself, and removing the rear brake discs requires some basic tools. First, you remove the wheel and secure the car with a jack to ensure safety. Then, unbolt the brake caliper—usually two large bolts—using a wrench, being careful not to damage the hose. After moving the caliper aside, hang it up to avoid straining the brake line. Next, remove the mounting screws, which might be rusted in place; spray some penetrating oil and wait a few minutes before trying again. After taking off the old brake disc, remember to clean the hub and wheel surface so the new disc won’t cause vibrations. Throughout the process, avoid touching the brake pad grease and wear gloves to protect your hands. If you encounter stubborn screws, don’t force them—seek help from a friend or watch tutorial videos to avoid damaging parts. After reassembly, check if the new disc rotates smoothly and ensure there are no foreign objects.
