Special tools and workshop equipment required
t
Disassembly wedge -3409-
t
Piston jig -T10145-
t
Assembly device -T10146/6-
Removing:
–
Press the piston out of the brake caliper using compressed air.
–
Insert wooden plate so that the piston is not damaged.
–
Lever off collar from brake caliper using the disassembly wedge -3409-.
–
Remove gasket ring with disassembly wedge -3409-.
Note
When removing, make sure that the cylinder surface is not damaged.
Installing:
–
Clean piston and gasket ring with white spirits and dry off.
–
Before installing the piston and gasket ring thinly coat with lithium grease -G 052 150 A2-.
–
Insert gasket ring into the brake caliper.
–
Insert the collar -A- on the assembly tool -T10146/6--1-.
–
Press the collar with the assembly tool-1- and the piston resetting jig-2- onto the brake caliper in such a way that it is resting all around the brake caliper.
–
Check fitting of the collar.
Note
The collar should no longer be removable by hand from the brake caliper.
–
Lightly press the piston onto the collar and interlock in this position, e.g. with the disassembly wedge-2-.
Note
Do not tilt the piston, in order to avoid damage to the collar.
–
Blow up the collar with compressed air (max. 0.3 MPa) -1-. At the same time the collar jumps onto the piston.
–
Press the piston with the piston jig-1- into the brake caliper.
The outer sealing lip of the collar will engage in the piston groove.
