Fit new expanding spring, new retaining pin It is essential to observe the following notes: and new retainer (safety bracket) (arrow). These parts are available as a repair Pull out brake pads together with the vibration set and must be "renewed" each time dampers. If this is not possible (dependingon the pads are changed. wear of the brake pads), use a spatula to detach the vibration dampers from the brake pad plate before removing the pads. In both cases, first set back the brake pads as far as possible with the piston resetting fixture. If necessary,first remove some brake fluid by suction from the brake fluid reservoir. Installation -Before installation of the brake pads, check the wear of the brake discs. For minimum thickness of the brake discs, see Technical data in Repair Group 46. If necessary, turn back the piston to its original position using the resetting fixture. 21_96 Fit new vibration dampers in the pistons.

Ensure correct with the vehicle stationary so that the brake brake pad quality. pads assumetheir fit in accordance with the operatingstate.Note Next, check and, if necessary, correct the The brake pad quality on the front and brake fluid level. rear axles is identical. The pad backing plates (rear side of the brake pads) must not be greased. Bedding in the brake pads New brake pads require a bedding~nperiod of approx. 200 km. Not until then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when travelling at high speed only in emergencies.
