Note
Replace warning contacts if the core of the wire is worn or worn through. •
The warning contact can continue to be used if there are only scrape marks on the plastic part of the
warning contact. •
4. Remove brake pads with a brake pad puller. Always observe the following important
points!
Note
If necessary, remove some brake fluid by suction from the brake fluid reservoir beforehand (brake
fluid may escape over the rim of the container!). •
Set back the brake pads as far as possible with the piston resetting fixture (press back). •
Pull out brake pads together with the damper plates. If this is not possible (depending on wear of the
brake pads), use a spatula to detach the damper plates from the brake pad backing plate before
removing the pads.
