Installing Rear Disc Brake Pads

→ Only use the type-specific brake pads listed .

→ Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm on each axle.

→ Replace the brake discs on each axle as soon as the brake pad wear limit is reached.

→ Fit new pad retaining springs

→ Fit new fastening screws

Information 

• The back of the pad backing plates must not be greased  .
• Check disc brakes for wear. For details of wear limits  see → 465302 CHECKING REAR BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) .
• Disc brakes must be clean and free of grease  .
• The core of the warning contact wire must not be left exposed! It does not matter if the insulation is worn  .
• If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the reservoir by suction in order to prevent an overflow when the disc brake pads are pushed back  .
• Use new repair kit  .
• Observe correct Tightening Torques  → 4X00IN TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM .
