I want to check my rear brakes on my Citroen C3 - in the Haynes book it says to replace, as a matter of course, the dust cap and the hub nut (staked type) Is it REALLY necessary to replace these? Nut torques to 148ftlb then is staked. TYIA!
|
yes they do
dirt cheap to buy for other cities/pewgots in fact the factor rather than the dealer usually keeps more in stock
rreason for change?
the staked bit breaks when undone
i did read that if you swap left to right on the axle you may get another life out of them as the broken bit will be in a different position (alledgedly) ,but,use this as a stop gap only
|
I did ring one factor who advised a scrapyard...LOL!
Another didn't have them.
Citroen dealer here I come - I wanted to avoid them......
.... how dare I work on my own car!
