Warning: Brake hoses must not come into contact with oil or fuel. Also, brake hoses must not be coated with varnish or other protective compounds.
Removal
1. Loosen the front wheel mounting bolts. Apply the handbrake, then raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the wheel.
2. To reduce brake fluid loss, remove the cap from the brake system replenishment tank, cover the tank neck with polyethylene and screw the cap back on. This is necessary so that the cap seals the replenishment tank tightly.
3. Unscrew the bolts and remove the brake caliper.
4. Release the brake hose from the guide and bracket.
5. Clean the area around the brake hose connections and unscrew the brake hose. Close the holes in the caliper and brake line with suitable plugs.
Installation
Warning: When installing, use brake hoses recommended by the manufacturer.
1. Install the new brake hose without twisting it and tighten the brake hose connectors to a torque of 15 Nm.
2. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock to check that the brake hose moves freely and does not contact the front suspension or body components.
3. Install the caliper.
4. Remove the polyethylene from the filler neck of the replenishment tank and bleed the corresponding brake circuit.
5. Install the wheel and lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the mounting bolts in a diagonal sequence to a torque of 120 Nm.
