Removal
1. Unscrew the bolt securing the lower guide pin. At the same time, use a thin spanner to keep the guide finger from turning. Use only a new bolt to secure the guide pin.
2. Turn the caliper up on the top guide pin and tie it to the post with soft wire.
3. If the brake pads are in good condition for continued use, clean them using a clean wire brush and rag.
4. Before installing the pads, check that the guide pins move freely in the caliper holder and check that the rubber protective boots of the guide pin are not damaged. Clean dust and dirt from the caliper and piston. Check the condition of the dust seal around the piston. Using a wire brush, clean the brake disc from traces of rust.
5. If new brake pads are to be installed, press the piston into the caliper. This can be done using a special device or a hammer handle. In this case, be especially careful that the piston is not warped and that the surfaces of the piston and dust boot are not damaged. When the piston is pushed in, the brake fluid is forced out of the brake cylinder into the expansion tank, so constantly monitor the fluid level in the tank and, if necessary, pump it out. When installing old brake pads, put them back in their original places.
6. Check that the heat shield is properly installed in the piston recess.
7. Insert the outer and inner brake pads into the caliper holder.
8. Lower the caliper onto the brake pads, press the caliper into position, then tighten the guide pin mounting bolt to 30 Nm.
9. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. It should not exceed the max mark. Press the brake pedal several times to press the pads against the brake disc, and recheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir
