Replacement
Caution: Make sure that no oil gets on the contact surfaces of the brake disc and pads.
1. Remove the brake hose bracket from the lower shock absorber bracket.
2. Holding the hexagonal section of the pin with a wrench, unscrew the flange bolts (8 mm) and remove the caliper body.
3. Hang the caliper body with wire.
Caution: Do not hang the caliper on the brake hose. Be careful not to damage the brake hose with the bracket or other components.
4. Remove the pads and shims from the brake caliper bracket.
5. Remove the holders.
6. Clean the caliper bracket from dirt.
7. Install the holders.
8. Apply Dalkarubu 528D grease to the areas shown in the figure.
Attention.
- Apply so that it does not squeeze out during installation of the gaskets.
- Make sure that no oil gets on the contact surfaces of the brake disc and pads.
9. Clean the caliper body from dirt and carefully press in the piston.
Check if brake fluid is leaking from the reservoir.
10. Install the caliper body in its original place and tighten the flange bolt (8 mm).
11. Install the brake hose bracket to the lower shock absorber bracket.
12. Press the brake pedal several times and push the piston out.
Caution: Do not start driving with the pistons not extended. If the piston is retracted too far, the braking effect may be insufficient when the pedal is first pressed.
13. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir.
14. After installation, check that the brake hose is not kinked and that brake fluid is not leaking.
