Caution
On vehicles with ceramic brakes the wheel must not be allowed
to drop onto the brake disc. This would cause irreparable dam‐

into the wheel bolt holes when removing and fitting a wheel.
Insert the long assembly pin into the top hole.
– Unclip brake hose from retainer on wheel bearing housing.

It might be necessary to press the brake pads back with the piston
resetting appliance - T10145- . To do so, position the tool at the
backing plates of the installed brake pads and press the brake
pads back carefully.
