Installing

Note:

Before pressing the piston back, use
a bleed bottle to draw off brake fluid
from the reservoir. If brake fluid has
been topped off between changes of
brake pads, brake fluid may overflow
out of the reservoir, and cause
damage.

- Remove brake pads and pad

retaining springs (arrows).

- Clean brake caliper housing, in

particular the bonding surface for
the brake pad. It must be free
from adhesive and grease
residues.

Note:

- Screw in piston by turning knurled

wheel of special tool 3272
clockwise, do not damage
protective cap when doing this.

- To help screwing in, use special

tool 3272/1.

If the piston is difficult to move,

use a 13 mm (.512 in.) AF open-
end wrench on the flats -arrow A-
provided for this purpose.

If the piston is pushed back with

a piston resetting tool, the
automatic adjustment in the
brake caliper will be destroyed.
