Installing rear brake calliper (standard brake system and PCCB)
1. Fit brake calliper on wheel carrier. Use new fastening screws -3-. Tightening torque: 85 Nm (63 ftlb.).
Fit brake line -1- and holder (M6 screw) -2- on brake calliper.
Tightening torques: Brake line -1- = 12-14 Nm (9-10.5 ftlb.)/holder (M6 screw) -2- = 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.).

2. Route brake pad wear indicator wire (clip it into the holders) and connect the connector to the combination plug connection. Lock combination
plug connection.
3. Bleed the brake system and adjust the brake-fluid level.
Bedding in the brake pads - standard brake system
New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km. Only then do they achieve their maximum braking effect. The slightly reduced
braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after a brake disc change.
