Caution!
- In the following operation, never lever directly against the disc, caliper or pad lining material. Always use a levering tool made from a soft material that will not cause damage to the load bearing surfaces.
- Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons are compressed. To prevent body damage, ensure that the displaced fluid does not come into contact with any part of the bodywork.
4. Carefully push the brake pads apart to force the caliper pistons back to allow withdrawal of the pads.
Note: Complete the installation of the brake pads to one caliper (see Front brake pads - installation) before removing the pads from the other caliper.
