Front Brake Assembly Overview, FNR-G Brake Caliper

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.

Use brake filler/bleeder unit (VAS 5234) or extraction device (V.A.G 1869/4) to extract brake fluid from brake fluid reservoir.

Before removing brake caliper or disconnecting brake hose, brake pedal depressor (V.A.G 1869/2) must be inserted (this dissipates pressure).
