3. Repeatedly press the vehicle brake pedal until brake fluid starts to flow out of the bleeder plug.
4. Holding down the pedal, close the bleeder plug. Release the pedal, wait a few seconds, then repeat the process until fluid without any air bubbles flows out and until the usual resistance and travel of the brake pedal are restored.
5. Tighten the bleeder plug (point 31) applying the tightening torque specified in the table:
Bleeder plug |
M6x1 |
M8x1,25 |
M10x1 |
M12x1 |
Tightening torque |
5÷7 Nm |
7÷10 Nm |
17÷20 Nm |
18÷22 Nm |
6. Remove the transparent tube.
7. Repeat the bleeding procedure for any other bleeder plugs.
8. After the bleeding process, pull back the pistons in the caliper completely using an appropriate tool (such as a retractor) and then top up the fluid level, as recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Close the brake fluid reservoir cap.
10. With the engine running, apply strong pressure to the vehicle brake pedal and check there are no fluid leaks from the caliper or abnormal pressure losses in the circuit and that the rear brake lights come on.
DANGER! If fluid is leaking from the caliper, repeat all the steps set out in this document to pinpoint the cause and remedy the problem.
For calipers with a parking brake
- Reconnect the wear indicator, where present, to the terminal in the vehicle, securing it with a light pressure to the shim present on the caliper and securing any attachments on the chassis.
- Restore the correct tension to the control cable.
- Repeatedly operate the parking brake lever in the vehicle cab until the usual stroke has been re-established.
1. Remove the protective cap (where present) and connect the electrical supply cable (point 2).
2. Perform the reset procedure (Assembly check).
3. If necessary, reset the counters (Reset Internal Counters) as prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer.
4. If required by the vehicle manufacturer, run in the pads.
5. Disconnect the diagnostics device (On Board Diagnosis - OBD).
For all types of calipers
1. Refit the wheel.
2. If the pads are new, run them in; follow the instructions provided with the spare pads.
