Attention.
- Use only a vacuum cleaner to clean the brake caliper and brake pads. Do not use compressed air.
- Do not press the brake pedal when the brake pads are removed, as this may cause brake fluid to leak out.
- Avoid contact of brake fluid with the brake disc.
Removal
1. Remove the wheel from the car.
2. Loosen the lower guide pin bolt.
3. Suspend the cylinder body with wire to relieve the load on the brake hose, then remove the pads, pad holder and shims from the caliper bracket.
Attention.
- Avoid deformation of the brake shoe holders when removing.
- Avoid damaging the piston dust boot.
- Do not drop brake pads, linings or lining covers.
Check after removal
Replace gaskets and gasket covers with new ones if they are too rusty.
Installation
1. Install the brake pad holders onto the caliper bracket if they were removed.
Attention.
- Install the pad retainers securely, making sure they do not protrude from the caliper bracket.
- Do not allow the brake shoe holders to become deformed.
2. Apply copper-based brake grease to the contact surfaces between the brake pads, gaskets and cylinder body protrusions, then install the brake pads.
Caution: Always replace the gaskets together with the caps with new ones when replacing the brake pads.
3. Install the cylinder body and brake pads on the caliper bracket.
Attention.
- Avoid damaging the piston dust boot.
- When replacing brake pads, it is necessary to check the brake fluid level in the expansion tank, since the brake fluid returns to the master cylinder when the piston of the slave cylinder is pressed inward.

Note: A special device is used to facilitate the compression of the piston of the working brake cylinder.
4. Install the lower guide pin bolt and tighten to the specified torque.
5. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure that the rear brakes are not jammed.
6. Install the wheel on the car.
Adjustments after installation
Brake bedding procedure
The bedding-in of new brake surfaces is carried out according to the procedure described below after grinding or replacing the brake disc, pads, or in the event of the brake pedal sinking over a short distance.
Attention.
- Care must be taken to control the speed of the vehicle, as brake pads that are not worn down will not provide the required braking performance.
- Perform the described procedure only on safe roads with low traffic. Exercise extreme caution.
1. Drive your car onto a straight, level road.
2. After accelerating the car a little, press the brake pedal hard for five seconds until the car comes to a complete stop.
3. Drive for a few minutes without pressing the brake pedal to allow the brakes to cool.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the brake disc is completely worn.
