Brake pads

BRAKE PADS

Dismantling-reassembly

To replace the brake pads, proceed as follows:

1. undo the bolts securing the brake caliper to the mounting bracket and secure the brake caliper in an appropriate manner;
2. remove the brake pads.

The caliper case attachment bolts are self-locking and should be renewed whenever they are slackened or unscrewed.

NOTE When refitting, make the caliper piston go back in before fitting the brake caliper.

Checking brake pads

The brake pads must be renewed when the thickness of the friction material is less than 1.5 mm.

Check that brake pads of the same type are fitted on each pair of wheels.

Bleeding

The old fluid should not be reused. Top up the level with new brake fluid.

The brakes can also be bled using the Jollyfren device, following the procedure described for the front brakes.
