Note:
^ Install repair kit complete.
^ After replacing brake pads, depress brake pedal firmly several times with vehicle stationary so that the pads are properly seated in their normal operating position.
^ To draw off brake fluid from brake fluid reservoir use a bleeder bottle which is used only for brake fluid. Brake fluid is poisonous and must on no account be siphoned out by mouth using a hose!

Note:
^ The inner surface (with tension spring) is indicated by an arrow. The arrow must point in direction of brake disc rotation when moving forward. If installed incorrectly this may cause noise problems.
^ Clean guide surfaces and apply a thin coating of polycarbamide grease G 052 142 A2 before inserting pads.
^ There is an adhesive foil on the back plates of the outer brake pads. The protective foil must be pulled off before inserting.
