Installing

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

• Before installing, clean carefully and check for wear and damage, make sure the dimensions are correct and that the brake surface is perfect.

• Always replace pads on both sides of axle if worn.

- Thoroughly clean the contact surfaces on the brake carrier for the brake pads and remove any corrosion.

If using the brake pads again, install the marked pads in the same location.
