Warning: Dust generated by wear of the pads is hazardous to health. Do not blow it off with compressed air or inhale dust. When servicing the brake system, it is recommended to wear a protective mask or respirator. Do not use gasoline or solvents for cleaning. Use only a special product for cleaning brake system components.
Removal
1. Loosen the front or rear wheel nuts, jack up the front or rear of the vehicle and install supports. Place wedges under the wheels of the opposite axle. Remove the rear or front wheel.
2. Remove the brake feed hose connector bolt and disconnect the hose from the caliper. The removed sealing washer can be discarded (see illustration). Plug the hose immediately to prevent clogging of the system and excessive loss of brake fluid.
4.2. There are sealing washers on both sides of the brake supply hose nipple; when connecting the hose, it is necessary to replace the washers
Note: If the caliper is removed to gain access to other components, do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper. Hang the caliper on a piece of wire, taking care not to put tension on the brake hose (see illustration 5.2).
3. Unscrew the mounting bolts and detach the caliper from the bracket. When removing the rear caliper, in order to unscrew the mounting bolts, it is necessary to secure the guide pins with an open-end wrench (see illustration 3.5e).
Installation
4. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Place new sealing washers on each side of the brake feed hose nipple. Tighten the fitting bolt and the caliper mounting bolts to the required torques.
5. Bleed the brake system (see subsection 8).
Note: If the brake hose has not been disconnected, do not bleed the hydraulic system.
Make sure the hose connections are tight. Before you begin normal operation of your vehicle, make sure that its braking system is in good working order.
