Installing





- Press back piston.

Note: Press piston back into caliper housing using resetting tool before inserting new brake pads. Before pushing back the piston, draw off brake Fluid out of the brake Fluid reservoir with a bleeder bottle. Otherwise, especially if reservoir has been topped off, Fluid will overflow and cause damage.

WARNING: Brake fluid is poisonous and must not be siphoned by mouth through a hose.





- Insert brake pad with retaining spring and wear indicator into brake caliper housing.





- Install outer brake pad -2- onto brake caliper.

Note: Insert pads in brake carrier and install together on brake caliper and brake disc.

- Secure brake carrier to brake caliper housing with both guide pins to 25 Nm.
- Make sure brake hose is installed without twisting.
- Install both protective caps.

Tightening torque 120 Nm

Note:
^ Retaining spring must be pressed under brake carrier after it is inserted in both holes. If the spring is improperly installed, the brake caliper cannot adjust to compensate for wear on the outer brake pad. This will cause the brake pedal travel/ to increase.
^ After installing brake pads and before moving vehicle, depress brake pedal several times firmly to properly seat brake pads in their normal operating position.

- Check brake fluid level and top off, if necessary.
