Removing front brake disc
Note: In order to gain better access for removal of the brake caliper, it is beneficial to turn the wheels fully either to the right or the left.
1. Release retainer for plug of wear indicator on wheel carrier.
2. Disconnect the speed sensor on the ABS sensor.
3. Push brake pads back slightly and evenly using piston resetting fixture NR.144, see Workshop Equipment Manual, Chapter 2.4 -direction arrow-.
Make sure that no brake fluid runs out of the supply tank - if necessary, remove by suction.
4. Undo brake caliper on wheel carrier and hang it in a suitable place in the wheel well (do not open the brake hydraulics!).
5. Remove brake disc after unscrewing the fastening screw. If necessary, remove the brake disc by tapping it gently with a rubber hammer.
Installing
Do not confuse right and left brake discs during assembly!
Distinguishing characteristic: Part No.! The flat surface of the brake discs is marked with R = right or L = left.
1. Check that all parts are in perfect condition and replace them if necessary.
2. Clean the levelling and centring surfaces on the brake disc and wheel hub. Then apply a very thin coat of Optimoly TA to the centring surface on
the wheel hub.
3. Fit the brake disc. Observe specified tightening torque. ‘46. Tightening torques for brake mechanics - Technical values'.
4. Fit the brake caliper. Replace the brake caliper fastening screws each time they are removed. Observe specified tightening torque.
5. Install retainer for plug of wear indicator on wheel carrier.
6. Connect the speed sensor on the ABS sensor.
7. Position disc brake pads by operating the brake several times.
