Front brakes, servicing

Note:
^ Install complete repair kit.
^ After replacing brake pads, depress brake pedal firmly several times with vehicle stationary so that the brake pads are properly seated in their normal operating position.
^ To extract brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir, use a bleeder bottle that only comes into contact with brake fluid. Brake fluid is poisonous and must never be extracted by mouth using a hose!
^ Check brake caliper for ease of movement by moving it sideways.





1 - Brake pads

Note:
^ The inner surface (with tension spring) is equipped with a cable for wear indicator.
^ Always replace both sides
^ Before installing the brake pads, clean guide surfaces and apply a thin coating of polycarbamide grease G 052 142 A2.
^ Checking pad thickness

Note:
^ Always clean the brake caliper thoroughly (grease-free) before inserting new brake pads. It is important to make sure that contact surfaces for brake pads are clean.

2 - Brake carrier

^ Bolt to wheel bearing housing

3 - Ribbed bolt, 190 Nm

^ Clean ribs if using again
