Front brake caliper removal / refitting

1. When changing the brake pads only, check that the oscillation of the disk, in relation to the axis of rotation, is within the specified limits (0.15 mm max).

NOTE: The value must be measured 2 mm from the outside diameter of the disk.

FRONT BRAKE CALIPER REMOVAL / REFITTING

• Set the car on a lift.
• Disconnect the battery (-) terminal.
• Remove the wheel on the side concerned.

1. Disconnect the intermediate union between the stiff pipe and the fluid delivery hose to the brake caliper.
2. Disconnect the electrical connection of the brake pad wear sensor, then free them from the fastening on the shock absorber.

13 ÷ 15 Nm
1.3 ÷ 1.5 Kgm

1. Slacken the two fastening screws and remove the brake caliper and pads.
2. If necessary also remove the caliper body, slackening the two hub fastening screws.

NOTE: When refitting replace the caliper body fastening screws, tightening them to the specified torque.

31 ÷ 38 Nm
3.2 ÷ 3.9 Kgm

22 ÷ 32 Nm
2.2 ÷ 3.3 Kgm

When refitting check that the rubber protection bellows of the fastening pin threads are intact, otherwise replace them.

When refitting the brake pad, with the wear sensor, it must be installed on the inner side of the disk (brake caliper piston side): at the same time check that the relief, machined on the outer side of the pad, is positioned at the rear with respect to the direction of travel.

When refitting bleed the air from the braking system (see specific paragraph).
