Removing and installing the front disc brake pads: Removal
- Remove the retainer (arrow) and extract the retainer pin inwards.
- Pull out the warning contact wire on the brake caliper and remove the warning contacts from the brake pad plates.NOTE:
- Replace warning contacts if the core of the wire is worn or worn through. The warning contact can continue to be used if there are only scrape marks on the plastic part of the warning contact.
- Remove brake pads with a brake pad puller. It is essential to observe the following notes.
Pull out brake pads together with the vibration dampers. If this is not possible (depending on wear of the brake pads), use a spatula to detach the vibration dampers from the brake pad plate before removing the pads. In both cases, first set back the brake pads as far as possible with the piston resetting fixture. If necessary, first remove some brake fluid by suction from the brake fluid reservoir.
