Warning! Remember that the dust produced during the operation of the brake mechanisms may contain asbestos, which is extremely harmful to human health. Never blow off dust with compressed air or inhale it - wear a protective mask or respirator when servicing mechanisms. Never use gasoline or petroleum-based solvents to clean brake system components - use only branded cleaners or methyl alcohol!
Both brake calipers on the same axle must be changed at the same time.
Front wheel brakes
Withdrawal
1. Loosen the wheel nuts. Jack up the front of the car and place it on jack stands. Remove wheels.
