probably not. Very rare for them to go on the 406, even with lot of mileage, normally sticky rear brakes.

I'd guess its a 36 (?) and will be very tight!

Looking about on Google everyone seems to list a 36mm for Peugeots. Can't you measure it?

The torque setting is 202 lbf ft

Msr Bell is correct, check out the brake if you didn't already.

shoes rubbing, bent or rusty backplate, stuck calliper. Get it in the air and spin it, see if you can spot anything they might have interpreted as a bearing. Rather than forking out for the tool and the diamond-encrusted bearing for no reason (other than the mot place was drumming up some work :roll: )

Steve I done what you said, put her in the air, and got my compressor and blew air everywhere, up,down,front ,rear, luckily I did put a face mask on first as I could not hear ANY noise either forward or back when I turned the both rear wheels. So after tapping and giving it a very good blow job [wait for it ] :) I took it for the MOT and she flew through. Nothing was mentioned about the bearing :wink:

The rear bearings are usually sound these days, I think it will just need a brake overhaul on the rears - brake wash, copper slip that kind of thing.
