Removing-refitting

Removing-refitting

To remove the wheel cylinder, proceed as follows:

• using tool 1856132000, undo the brake pipe connection;
• undo the bolts and remove the wheel cylinder.

Checking wheel cylinder components

During overhaul, always replace the seals and dust excluders; if the cylinder barrel or pistons show faults, replace the assembly. Make sure that the bleed screw is not blocked.

BLEEDING

Do not re-use the old fluid.
The level should be topped up with fresh brake fluid.

The rear brakes should be bled on a platform ramp with the rear suspension resting on the ground, so that the brake pressure proportioning valve enters into operation.

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

Adjust the handbrake as described on page 32.
