Brake Pads, FNR- G 60

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque wrench (VAG 1331)

• Torque wrench (VAG 1410)

• Brake pedal actuator (VAG 1869/2)

• Piston resetting tool (T10145)

• Torque wrench (VAG 1332)

Removing

• Mark the brake pads when removing them if they are to be reused. Reinstall in their original position to prevent uneven braking.

• The brake rotor is secured with a Torx bolt.

- Raise the vehicle.

- Remove the wheels and tires.

- Remove the brake rotor Torx bolt.- 1 -.

- Use a screwdriver to pry off the brake pad retaining spring from the brake caliper housing and remove.





- Disconnect the electrical connector for the brake pad wear indicator.





- Turn the electrical connector 90 degrees while using a screwdriver to release the connector from the bracket.

- Pull the connector upward out of the bracket and detach wire.

- Remove the brake line from the retainer.





- Remove the protective caps - 1 -.





- Loosen and remove both guide pins from the brake caliper.





- Remove brake caliper housing and lay to one side so that the weight of the brake caliper does not stress or damage the brake hose.

- Take brake pads out of brake caliper housing or from brake carrier.

Use methylated spirits to clean the brake caliper housing.

Installing

- Press the piston back into the caliper housing.





• Press the piston back into the cylinder with piston resetting tool (T10145), before inserting new brake pads. Draw off brake fluid from the reservoir with a bleeder bottle before pressing piston back. Otherwise brake fluid which was used to top off brake fluid reservoir, may run out and cause damage.

CAUTION!
Brake fluid is poisonous and must never be extracted by mouth using a hose!

- Insert the brake pad with retaining spring and wear indicator into brake caliper housing (piston).





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





• Insert brake pads into brake caliper and install assembly on brake carrier / brake disc.

- Secure the brake caliper housing to the brake carrier with both guide pins (tighten to 30 Nm).





- Make sure not to twist the brake hose when installing.

- Install both protective caps.

- Insert the retaining spring into the brake caliper housing.

- Attach the brake line

- Connect the wear indicator connector and insert the wire in the dust cap and protective cap.

- Installing the wheels and tires.

• After inserting the retaining spring into the two holes, press it under the brake carrier. If incorrectly installed, it is not possible to adjust the wear of the outer pad, and the pedal travel will be increased as a result.

• After installing the brake pads, depress pedal firmly several times with the vehicle stationary, so that the brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating position.

- Check the brake fluid level and top up if necessary.
