Following Pad removal (Section 6.1)
Using hand pressure only (no tools), the Caliper (1)
must slide freely over the whole length of the Guide
Pin arrangement > 1.2in. (30mm).
During this operation the Sleeve (5) is sealed by the
Boot (9) and Cap (10) or Steel Cap (10a) and O-Ring
(31a). These must show no signs of damage. Check
that these are correctly seated.
The Caliper may have to be re-sealed by using a
suitable Kit (see page 5 or page 7).
Note:
Before placing the Pads into the Carrier, the Adjuster
(23) must be further de-adjusted by rotating it
counter clockwise.
Clean the Pad abutments.
Push Caliper (1) outboard and fit the outboard Pad
(12).
For fitting the inboard Pad (12), push Caliper (1) in the
opposite direction.
If fitted, replace Wear Indicators and fittings /
brackets, etc. See page 5 or 7.
