Installing:
Drain the brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir before the pis‐
ton is pushed with the piston jig into the cylinder. Otherwise,
particularly if reservoir has been topped up, fluid will overflow and
cause damage.

– Remove the protective foil from the supporting plate of the
outer brake pad.
– Place the outer brake pad on the brake carrier.
– Insert the inner brake pad with retaining spring into the brake
caliper (piston).
When installing the brake caliper make sure that the brake pad
does not stick to the brake caliper before reaching its correct in‐
stalled position.
Do not damage the surface to be glued.
