This is a report about a situation in which a small oversight during maintenance interfered with the good performance of the brakes. A Citröen C3 GLX 1.6/1.6 Flex 16V 5p 2008 entered the workshop with the front brake locked. “When I disassembled it, I saw that the brake was actually stuck, with the brake caliper stuck on the sliding pin, thus causing irregular wear on the pad.” According to the mechanic, a little care at the workshop where the Citroën’s pad was replaced would have prevented the problem of locking. The caliper was not maintained properly! “Always clean and lubricate the sliding pins of the brake calipers to prevent possible locking.” Thiago de Assis Chiquitano, owner of Auto Mecânica Brasinha, a participant in the Feras da Oficina Nakata project, solved the problem of the C3 owner in a simple and quick way. “I removed the pin that was stuck, cleaned and lubricated the assembly properly so that it would not lock again.”
