Note: Before removing brake pads that are to be used again, mark them for installation in their original locations, as reinstalling them will cause the brake mechanism to malfunction.
Remove the protective caps. Using a screwdriver as a lever, pull the brake pad retaining spring out of the caliper and remove it. Unscrew the two guide pins and remove them from the caliper. Remove the brake pads from the pad guide or bracket.
Remove some of the brake fluid from the reservoir with a syringe to prevent it from overflowing when installing new pads. Clean the pad pockets in the caliper. Fully recess the piston into the cylinder. Install the inner pad in the caliper together with the retaining spring so that the arrow on the back of the pad points downwards (Fig. 7-3). Install the outer brake pad in the same way as the inner one. Remove the protective film from the outer brake pad. Screw the two guide pins into the caliper. Install both protective caps. Install the retaining spring in its place in the caliper. Press the brake pedal several times to set the pistons to the working position, check and, if necessary, restore the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
