Brake pads, removing and installing
Removing

Note: When removing, mark brake pads that will be used again. Install in the same position, otherwise braking effect will be uneven!

- Raise vehicle.
- Remove wheels.





- Secure brake disk using a wheel bolt.
- Disconnect connector for brake pad wear indicator





- Disengage connector from bracket using a screwdriver and simultaneously turn connector 90°
- Lift connector up and out and disengage wire





- Remove circlips -4
- Slide out locking pins -2- inward (arrow).
- Remove tension spring -3-

Note: Before pushing back the piston, siphon some of the brake fluid out of the brake fluid reservoir. Otherwise, especially if reservoir has been topped off, fluid will overflow and cause damage.

WARNING: Brake fluid is poisonous. Never siphon brake fluid with your mouth!

Installing

Note: Do not damage protective caps when installing brake pads.





- Carefully insert brake pads
- Insert locking pins with tension spring
- Allow connector for brake wear indicator to engage in bracket and connect.
