The 3/8" chisel worked perfectly, i should've gotten one years ago! I fully recommend it to Mirage owners.
I hit the cap a little too hard like my screwdriver.
I will add some anti seize when they go back on. Upon initial inspection, my brakes look great. They look like they have some life left.
Hi there,
My Mirage (2017 version) has 48 000 km (+/- 29 000 miles) and I am almost at the end of the second brake pads without ever having checked the rear shoes. I like to do some of the maintenance at home (oil changes, filters, brake fluid change, front brake pads replacement) however I am not confident to open the rear drums as I do not have any torque wrench that goes so high and I think if that is not torqued as expected the full wheel can just fall off while driving. My question is, do you think that I should check my rear drums soon? I had two Peugeot 206 in the past and none of them needed any work on that until 145 000 km (I sold both with this mileage). But from what I read on this forum it looks like the mirage drum brakes are not so good for longevity. I’ve removed the wheel and tried with my phone to see if I could see anything through the adjuster hole but no success. Any thoughts/tips?
Thanks in advance!
