Clean the mounting faces on the hub bracket.
WARNING! If there are any new pads, the pistons must be pulled back; follow the instructions provided with the spare pads.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean the caliper bracket fitting areas on the caliper body (ends of guides, covers).
CAUTION! Do not use products which could damage the protective covers, such as nitro-tetrachloroethylene thinner, petrol, etc.
2. Clean and uniformly grease the entire internal surface of the covers, the external surface of the guiding bushes and their seats in the caliper body.
3. Position the caliper body (point 13), setting one of the two guiding bushes (point 10) in the seat on the caliper bracket (point 18).
4. In the case of a non-incorporated guiding bush (point 11), fit and tighten a new screw (point 22).
CAUTION! The guiding bush to position must be the one that allows the brake fluid supply line to remain free from any stretching.
5. Close the caliper carefully, by twisting the caliper body (point 13) around the seated guiding bush.
6. Thread the wear indicator probe (point 4) through the dedicated hole in the caliper body (point 13).
CAUTION! Close the caliper carefully, making sure the protective covers on the bushes are not damaged by knocking against the caliper support. Replace the covers if necessary.
WARNING! If there are any pads with an adhesive side, take care not to create contacts between the body and the pad before you have completed the caliper body fitting.
CAUTION! When replacing the caliper bracket on rear wheels with suspension and leaf springs, the caliper body must be repositioned on the caliper bracket, then reinsert both guiding bushes and insert and tighten two new screws.
10. Tighten at the tightening torque specified in the following table:
Type |
|
Tightening torque |
Fastening screw |
(M8 - CH6) |
32÷36 Nm |
Guiding bush with incorporated screw |
(M8 - CH6) |
32÷36 Nm |
Guiding bush with incorporated screw |
(M10 - CH8) |
65÷75 Nm |
DANGER! Observe the tightening sequence described; failing to could compromise the proper functioning of the caliper.
For calipers with a parking brake
1. Use the lever to assemble the piston with the pads.
CAUTION! Before assembling the piston with the pads, make sure the caliper bracket, pads and disc are present.
CAUTION! Hydraulic operation is only permitted when the piston is less than 1 mm from the pads.
For all types of calipers
1. In the case of residual torque reducing springs (point 24) hook the spring under the plate (point 25) of the pad and hook the underside of the plate on the other pad with the aid of a hollow tip screwdriver.
DANGER! Incorrect attachment of the spring could cause it to spring open.
CAUTION! Observe the correct fitting direction.
2. Carefully clean the part (point 26) to make sure it stays in place and fit new protective caps (point 27), greasing their internal surface and the caliper body seat with grease provided in the spare part kit.
WARNING! EUH210 - Safety data sheet available upon request.
WARNING! EUH208 - Contains N-alkylated benzotriazole. May cause an allergic reaction.
3. Turn the protective caps (point 27) so that they adhere fully to the seat (point 28).
For calipers with a parking brake
1. 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.
2. Restore the correct tension to the control cable.
3. Repeatedly operate the parking brake lever in the vehicle cab until the usual stroke has been re-established.
For ECS calipers
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. Operate the brake pedal until optimal pressure is re-established in the system and the force and normal stroke of the pedal are restored.
3. Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
4. Close the brake fluid reservoir cap.
5. If the pads are new, run them in; follow the instructions provided with the spare pads.
