3. Clean the piston and insert into the cylinder with special tool MB990520.
4. Be careful that the piston boot does not become caught when lowering the caliper assembly and installing the guide pin.
5. Check brake drag force as follows:
1. Start the engine and hold the brake pedal down for five seconds. [Pedal depression force: approximately 196 N (44 pound)]
2. Stop the engine.
3. Turn the brake disc forward ten times.
4. Use a spring scale to measure the hub torque with pads installed in the same direction as earlier.
5. Calculate the drag force of the disc brake [difference between hub torque with pads installed and hub torque with pads removed].
Standard value: 69 N (16 pound) or less
6. If the brake drag torque exceeds the standard value, disassemble and clean the piston. Check for corrosion or worn piston sea], and check the
sliding condition of the lock pin and guide pin.
