Installing

NOTE:

Only remove sealing plugs on new hydraulic unit when the corresponding brake line is going to be installed.
If the sealing plugs are removed too early, brake fluid can escape, it can no longer be guaranteed that the module is sufficiently filled or adequately bled.

When assembling the control module and hydraulic unit, be sure that the hydraulic unit valve dome does not come in contact with the control module solenoid valves.

Using new bolts, install control module to hydraulic unit. Do not tighten more than a max. 4 Nm (35 in. lb).
Bolt ABS module to bracket.

Do not tighten bolts completely. Attaching the individual brake lines is made easier.

After tightening brake lines, tighten hydraulic unit.
Further installation is carried out in the reverse sequence.
