» Pneumatic Disc Brake SL7 - SM7
Depending on the installation, it may be possible to remove
the caliper from the carrier and replace the carrier in situ.
Else it may be necessary or more convenient to remove the
complete carrier/calliper assembly from the vehicle where it
can be separated and the carrier replaced.
Note:
The disc brake is very heavy, take great care in handling!
Do not fasten any lifting device to the pad retainer (11) since
this can be damaged.
Use only new parts from the guide and seal kit when
fitting the caliper to the carrier. This is not supplied with
the caliper and must be ordered separately.
Note:
The carrier is fitted to the vehicle according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s specifications and with bolts supplied by the
vehicle manufacturer – they are not available from Knorr-
Bremse.
