1. Jack up the front of the car, remove the wheels. Lock the brake discs by screwing the two wheel bolts into them. On vehicles with a brake pad wear indicator, disconnect the connector 1. To do this, slightly lift the locking tab at the bottom of the connector 2. then turn it 90'. Pull the lower part of the connector out of the holder.
Disconnect the plug connection 1 of the brake pad wear indicator
2. Turn the steering wheel to access the pads.
3. Remove the lower mounting screw from the brake caliper housing. In this case, you need to hold the guide pin.
To turn up the brake caliper, unscrew the lower fixing screw
4. To remove the brake pads, turn the brake caliper up.
5. Remove the brake pads. If you intend to use the overlays again, be sure to label them. If the old linings are installed in the wrong place, this will cause uneven braking action.
6. If you mount new pads, then the piston must be pressed into the cylinder. If you do not have a special tool, then you can use a clamp for this. Protect the piston with a piece of wood. Do not damage the cuff. Before squeezing the piston, it is necessary to suck out the brake fluid from the reservoir using a siphon. Otherwise, when adding fluid, it may leak out and cause damage.

7. The caliper body can only be cleaned with alcohol. Insert the brake pads, turn the caliper down and tighten the fixing screw to 30 Nm (repair kit includes four self-locking hex head screws).
8. Upon termination of installation of overlays some times squeeze out a brake pedal. In this case, the pads take the correct position. After that, check the fluid level in the expansion tank.
