dust cover is damaged, you should replace it
immediately; otherwise, the piston alignment
return shall not occur, leading to accidents.
When mounting, you should equally paint

the lubricant onto the brake lining. If lubricant
grease splashes onto the brake lining, you
should clean it and use sand paper to grind it
slightly.

Dismount the brake lining to check its
thickness. If one side of the brake lining is
worn, you should not replace it. Only the
thickness of brake disc is equal to or less
