Do You Want to Remove a Rusty Citroen Fastener Without Breaking it Off?

This was a question that recently was sent in to me, and I covered it a bit in the article that I wrote about removing the Citroen D Model fuel tank, but I will go into greater depth here.

What I will be explaining here is the removal of a fastener from your vintage Citroen . Most of these fasteners will be 25 plus years old, and you are perhaps removing them for the first time since the Citroen was new.

Depending on the location and the vintage, and of course where a fastener has spent it’s life, can have a great deal to do with how difficult it might be to remove when you want to take it apart. More >

Checking the Bolts on the Citroën SM Gear Box

This is just a short reminder to all you Citroën SM lovers out there.

It is extremely important to get in the habit of checking and correcting, if necessary, the tightness of the bolts fastening the differential shaft extension housing to the Citroen SM gear box .

This should be checked after any repair involving removal of the motor, the gear box, the drive shafts or the front suspension units.

The tightening torque is 10.5 to 13.5 m.kg. (76 to 98 ft. lbs.)

Stay safe!

Do you Think Your Citroen Has Contaminated Hydraulic Fluid?

Do you think your Citroën has contaminated hydraulic fluid ?

My little video yesterday showed you a simple test to do if the LHM system has a little brake fluid in it. Now I will tell you some of the tell tale signs to look out for when the system might be contaminated.
