Removing

Removing front brake pads

The core of the warning contact line must not be left exposed! It does not matter if the insulation is worn!

If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the expansion tank by suction to prevent overflow when the disc brake pad is pushed back!

1. Remove fastening screw at retainer pin. Then screw in auxiliary screw M8. Hold down expanding springs with a screwdriver -see illustration- and remove retaining pin.





2. Remove warning contact line from brake caliper and expanding spring. Remove warning contacts from the brake disc pads.
3. Piston resetting fixture (replaces P83) NR.144, must be fitted on the brake caliper between the disc brake pads in order to push the pads back evenly -arrows-.





4. Remove disc brake pads.





Subsequent work

1. Mount wheel.

Information

Bedding in the brake pads

New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km! Only then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient! During this period, the brakes should only be subjected to full stress at high speed in emergencies!
