Removal
NOTE: If reusing brake pads mark and return to same location.
- Remove wheels.
- Remove protective caps (arrows).
- Unhook brake pad retaining spring from brake caliper housing and remove.
NOTE: Release retaining spring from housing retaining holes (arrow) by pushing in direction of arrow (arrow embossed on retaining spring) and tilting to remove.
- Remove both guide pins from brake caliper.
- Remove brake caliper housing and lay to one side so that weight of brake caliper does not stress or damage brake hose.
- Take brake pads out of brake caliper housing or from brake carrier.
- Clean brake caliper housing, especially surface for brake pad adhesion as this must be free of grease and adhesive remains.
Installation
WARNING: Brake fluid is poisonous.
NOTE:
^ Before inserting new brake pads, press the piston back into the cylinder with a piston resetting tool.
^ Before pressing the piston back, remove some brake fluid from the reservoir with a bleeder bottle. Otherwise, particularly if reservoir has been topped up, fluid Will overflow and cause damage.
- Insert brake pad with retaining spring in brake caliper housing.
- Install outer brake pad in brake carrier.
- Bolt brake caliper housing with both guide pins to brake carrier and torque bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft lb).
- Install both protective caps.
- Insert one spring arm under brake carrier and insert one tab in housing retaining hole (arrow A).
- Tension second spring arm under brake carrier and insert second tab into housing retaining hole (arrow B).
NOTE:
^ When installing the outer brake pad make sure that it does not stick to the brake caliper housing before it is in the correct installation position.
^ Do not damage the adhesive surface.
^ After installing a new brake pad, depress the brake pedal firmly two or three times and hold the brake pedal fully depressed for 5 to 10 seconds so that the outer pad is firmly bonded to the brake caliper housing. This ensures outer pad noise-free braking.
