Removing
Mark the position of the brake pads if they are to be used. They must be installed back in the same places, otherwise there will be an uneven distribution of braking forces between the wheels!
Remove wheels.
Pry up with a screwdriver and remove the support spring from the brake caliper (arrow).
Disconnect electrical connector (1) pad wear sensor cable.
Remove caps (arrows).
Unscrew and remove both guides (arrows) from the brake caliper.
Remove the brake caliper and tie it with wire so that its weight does not damage the brake hose.
Remove the brake pads from the brake caliper housing and caliper.
Clean the caliper, especially carefully in the pad seat (there should be no glue or grease residues here).
Use only alcohol to clean the brake caliper.
Installation
Before pressing the piston into the cylinder using a special device, it is necessary to pump out part of the brake fluid from the reservoir. If the brake fluid is topped up as the brake pads wear, this will help prevent fluid leaks and the resulting damage.
Press the piston into the caliper.
Remove the protective film from the base plate of the outer brake pad.
Install the outer brake shoe to the brake caliper.
Insert the inner brake shoe with retaining spring into the brake caliper (piston).
When installing, glue the block only when it is in the correct position in the caliper.
Avoid damaging the adhesive layer.
Screw the brake caliper to the bracket with two guides.
Install both protective caps.
Install the retaining spring into the brake caliper.
Connect the pad wear sensor cable connectors.
Install wheels.
Tightening torque: Caliper guides: 30 Nm.
