Install in reverse order of removal and note the following:
There is a health risk.
- Do not blow out brake system with compressed air.
Clean bolts before reusing.
Replace damaged bolts.
Always replace self-locking bolts.

Make sure that the connector and brake hose are routed correctly.
Make sure the brake hose is not pinched, bent, twisted or rubbing against the vehicle.

- Do not bend the brake line past the specified form.
- A damaged brake hose or a damaged or bent brake line must be replaced.
-- Remove the Brake Pedal Actuator:VAG1869/2 .
-- Only bleed the brakes on the wheel from which the brake caliper and the brake hose was loosened.
If the brake pedal still feels "soft", completely bleed the brakes
If brake pads are ceramics, wheel must not fall on brake rotor, otherwise it will be irreparably damaged. To install/remove wheel, install two assembly pins from vehicle tool kit in mounts on wheel bolts. The long assembly pin is in the upper position.
-- Install the front wheel. Refer to WHEELS AND TIRES .
