  Note
t  Install all parts supplied in repair kit.
t  After fitting the brake pads, operate the brake pedal strongly with the vehicle stopped so that the brake pads adopt the position corresponding to normal operation.
t  To draw off brake fluid from brake fluid reservoir use a bleeder bottle which is used only for brake fluid. Brake fluid is poisonous and must on no account be sucked out with the mouth using a hose!
