1. Remove the safety bracket and extract the retainer pin inwards.

2. Pull out the warning contact wire on the brake calliper and remove the warning contacts from the brake pad plates.

3. Remove brake pads using the brake pad puller. Always observe the following important points:

Press the brake pads back as far as possible using the piston resetting fixture.

Pull out brake pads together with the vibration dampers. If this is not possible (depending on the amount of wear on the brake pads), use a spatula to detach the vibration dampers from the brake pad backing plate before removing the pads.
