- Install the outer brake pad - 3 - in the brake carrier - 2 -.

- Mount the brake caliper - 1 - on the brake carrier - 2 -.

- Tighten the brake caliper to brake carrier using both guide pins.






- Install the caps.

- Install the brake caliper spring - 1 - in such a way that the lower spring bracket is behind the brake carrier - arrow A - and the middle centering pin - arrow B - is behind the brake caliper housing - 3 -.
