front brake caliper

Important!

The brake pad wear sensor must be replaced once it has
been removed (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention
capability in the brake pad).

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Remove wheel

Remove brake pad wear sensor

Read and comply with General Information.

After completing work: Bleed braking system

Press clutch pedal down to floor and secure with pedal support.

Note:

The pedal support may only be released when the brake lines are
reconnected.

This prevents brake fluid from emerging from the expansion tank
and air from entering the system when the brake lines are opened.

Detach retainer (1) from bracket on spring strut in upward
direction.

Installation:

Retainer (1) must be felt and heard to snap into place.
