B.Brake Pad Applicability
MODELS 107,123, 124,126 AND 201 AS OF MODEL YEAR 1981
This service information lists the correct front and rear brake pads for each model as of M.Y. 1981. Also included are the current part numbers and
material composition for the brake pads.
As of January 1988, only asbestos-free pads and brake linings are used for production and replacement parts (except Jurid 226 and Textar 269).
Prior to installing brake pads, observe the following:
The brake pad wear sensors need only be replaced when the insulation has been worn through by the brake rotor, or when one of the sensor components,
including the wire insulation, is damaged. In most instances, the wear sensor can be used again.
Note:
The front and rear brake friction materials have been selected to provide equal and optimal wear characteristics.
