If the thickness of any pad is below the specified minimum, the axle set of pads should be renewed.
1. To remove the brake pads; Use a pin punch to tap one of the pad retaining pins towards the inboard
side. Unhook and remove the anti-rattle spring plate, and tap out the second retaining pin. Use pliers
on the backplate lugs to withdraw the pads from the calliper, noting each pad's position if they are to be
refitted.
Measure the lining thickness and renew the axle set of pads if any lining is below 2.5 mm.
2. Before replacing the pads, inspect the calliper for any signs of fluid leakage from a piston seal or joint,
and replace the calliper if any such signs are evident. Clean the pad recess in the calliper taking suitable
precautions to protect from dust inhalation. Inspect the brake disc surface condition and thickness (see
below) and replace if necessary.
3. If refitting the existing brake pads, refit in their original position.
4. If fitting new pads, the pistons must be pushed back into the calliper using suitable calliper pliers, to provide
the necessary space. This action will return fluid to the master cylinder such that some fluid may need
to be removed by syringe in order to prevent overflowing. Do not lever between the disc and piston, or
damage to both components may be caused. Note that new pads are supplied with an anti-squeal overlay
applied to the backplate, and the edge of the pad material should be marked 'FER 4212 FF'.
5. Position the pads in the calliper, and insert the upper pad retaining pin from the inboard side. Tap fully
into position using a pin punch, and verify the security of the pin. Renew the pin if in any doubt.
6. Fit the anti-rattle spring plate into position with the top end tucked under the upper pin and the arrow point-
ing upwards on a front calliper, or downwards on a rear calliper. Insert the second pin, pressing down the
bottom of the spring plate so as to be captured by the lower pin. Verify pin security.
7. Before driving the car, press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads to their correct running po-
sition. Top up the master cylinder reservoir (see above) if necessary, to bring the level to the top of the
‘MAX’ mark.
