Removal and installation rear brake pads (VW Caddy 3)

Removal

When removing, mark the brake pads that are suitable for further use. They must be installed back in the same places, otherwise there will be uneven distribution of braking forces between the wheels!

1. Remove the wheels.

2. Unscrew the brake caliper mounting bolts, holding the guide from turning.

3. Remove the brake caliper and tie it with wire so that its weight does not damage the brake hose.



4. Remove the brake pads and brake pad holders (arrows).

Installation

1. Screw the piston into the caliper by turning the handwheel of the device, without damaging the piston cuff.

If the piston rotates with difficulty, turn the lead screw of the device using a 13 mm open-end wrench using the chamfers provided for this purpose (arrow A).





2. Install the brake shoe holders and brake shoes onto the brake caliper. In this case, you need to ensure that the brake pads are in the correct position in the holders (arrows).



3. Secure the brake caliper using new self-locking bolts.

4. Install the wheels.

Tightening torque: Hexagon head bolt, brake caliper to bracket: 35 Nm.

Caution: Use only new bolts!
