14.3. (DE)MOUNTING BRAKE CALLIPERS

- Loosen the brake pipes from the calliper and close it with a cap.
- Disconnect the handbrake cable form the 2 M7 bolts
- Remove both calliper mounting bolts. Watch out for the retainer plate between the container and the calliper. Some brake callipers have also a bus between both halves, don’t lose them!

- If you don’t have to check the brake calliper; then clamp both halves to each other with an adhesive clip, this way there is no brake fluid leaking.
- Remove the calliper pulling it upwards. Check the brake callipers. (See 14.7)

- Disconnect the driving shaft and remove the brake disc. The minimum thickness of a brake disc is 4 mm.  A new brake disc has a thickness of 7 mm. The lateral swing of the disc must be 0.2 mm maximum in the mounted position.
- Place the brake disc and mount the driver shaft. Tighten the bolts to 45 Mn.
- Degrease the brake discs with a brake cleanser.
- Mount the callipers. Tighten the bolts to 50 Nm. Watch out for the retainer plate between the container and the calliper. Be careful that both halves in the calliper fall exactly on each other and check if the seams of the halves fall exactly above the centre of the disc. (Here is the picture of the retainer plate).
- Mount the brake pipes and don’t tighten them too much. Always use a new rubber pipe.
- Connect the hand brake cable and adjust it according to 14.9.
- If necessary, fill the brake fluid reservoir with the required green-LHM brake fluid and vent the system. (See 14.2).
