Removing

Note: If re-using brake pads, mark them so that they can be installed in their original positions to prevent uneven braking.

- Remove wheels.





- Counter-hold guide pins and remove selflocking bolts from brake caliper housing.
- Remove brake pads.

Installing

Note: Before pushing back the piston, siphon some of the brake fluid out of the brake fluid reservoir. When siphoning brake fluid, always use a bleeder bottle that is used exclusively for brake fluid. Brake fluid is poisonous. NEVER siphon brake fluid with your mouth!





- Screw piston inward as far as it will go by turning threaded spindle clockwise and knurled section counterclockwise.
- Remove protective foil on brake pad backing plates.





- Insert brake pads.





- Secure brake caliper housing using new self-locking bolts.
- Tighten brake caliper housing to 35 Nm.

Notes:
^ Repair kit includes four self-locking hexbolts which must always be installed.
^ After replacing brake pads and before moving vehicle, always depress brake pedal several times firmly to properly seat brake pads in their normal operating position.

- When installing, tighten wheels to 120 Nm.
- Check brake fluid level and top off, if necessary.
