Removal
1. Remove the rear wheel. Open the plug connection on the wheel carrier and pull out the plug for the brake
pad wear indicator.
2. With a screwdriver, turn the adjustment device towards "release" through a wheel bolt threaded hole.
3. Remove the brake caliper from the wheel carrier and suspend it in the wheel arch (do not open brake
hydraulics). First, pull out the electrical wires on the brake caliper holder and the brake pad wear wire on
the wheel carrier holder.
4. Take off the brake disc after removing the countersunk screws. If a stuck brake disc cannot be removed by
gentle tapping with a plastic hammer, evenly screw hexagon−head bolts into the two M8 threads of the
brake disc, thereby pressing off the disc.
5. Remove compression springs, adjustment fixture and return springs. Remove parking brake shoes.
