    4.8.Brake system efficiency adjustment Brake pad replacement 4.8.1. Brake pad replacement is only performed when a pad is worn – out. CAUTION Due the possibility of brake fluid leaking, it is advisable not to loosen the hose cup nut during brake pad removal. In the case of a leak in the brake system, filling and bleeding is necessary.
