Replacing the brake pads

Never push the pistons back while the pads are disassembled as otherwise you may

damage them.

This description applies for replacing brake pads on the front and rear wheels.

Remove the wheel as shown in the instructions.

Move back the pistons in the brake calliper while the

brake pads are installed with the transport safety or

using a wide screwdriver. Do not apply heavy force.

Apply from different sides where necessary until the

slave pistons slide back fully without needing to apply

heavy force.

Twist the retaining screw on the brake pad out using

the Torx T25 spanner.
