Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced as
a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are installed on the same
wheel, replace all the brake pads in
both calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been installed,
caution until the new pads have
'broken in'.
