–  Insert wooden plate in the channel so that the piston is not damaged.

–  Lever off the protective cap from the 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.

–  Press the protective cap with the assembly tool-1- and the piston jig-2- onto the brake caliper in such a way that it is resting all around the brake caliper.

–  Check fitting of the protective cap.   Note The protective cap should no longer be removable by hand from the brake caliper.

–  Lightly press the piston onto the protective cap 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 protective cap. –  Blow up the protective cap with compressed air (max. 0.3 MPa) -1-. At the same time the protective cap jumps onto the piston.
