[Gabbastard]

bastard Peugeot 207.

Normally these type of calipers have two 13mm bolts to split the caliper, replace the pads, done.

But what the fucks this thing in place of the top bolt? Im kind of feart to touch it (thats what she said)

Feart?

can't really see but kinda look like theres just 1 Bolt and a kinda spring to clamp it down to the pad...

There anti vibration type thing they just unbolt. What out tho I've seen a few that have thread damage when removing

Handbrake attachment? Rear caliper?

[rick_VTR]

with these calipers is it not just a case of undo one bolt and rotate the caliper around to change the pads?

Had a swatch around on some other fora, looks like you may be right.

im not 100% sure but i think that is the case mate, i remember a mate talking about it when he had to do the brakes on his other halfs car.

Nice one.

Peugeot can fuck off with their discs-that-house-bearings though.
