  Note
t  Before fitting the new brake pads, press the cylinder of the brake callipers. Before pressing the piston back, draw off brake fluid from the reservoir with a bleeder bottle. Otherwise, -if brake fluid has been replaced- it might leak and cause damage.
t  To avoid causing any damage, only use the compression tool -T20055A- to remove the piston.
t  Retracting the piston with the compression tool damages the calliper's automatic readjustment system.
   
–  Retract the piston by rotating the handle of the compression tool -T20055A - clockwise. Take special care not to damage the piston protective bellow.
  Note
Insert thecompression tool -T20055A-until the shoulder -arrow- is resting on the brake calliper.
