Warning! The brake fluid used in the hydraulic clutch system is poisonous, so if it comes into contact with the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of water. If the liquid gets into the eyes or inside the body, you should immediately consult a doctor. Some fluids tend to be highly flammable and can ignite even from contact with hot vehicle components. In addition, the fluid used in the hydraulic clutch system dissolves paint and plastic, so if fluid comes into contact with the car's paintwork, wash it with plenty of water. Also, this liquid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air and, therefore, it is not recommended to use liquid stored for a long time in an open container.
Warning! During the operation of the brake pads, it forms brake dust, which contains asbestos, which is harmful to health. Therefore, when cleaning brake pads, do not use compressed air or inhale dust.
Removing
Attention! When installing the caliper, use new guide pin bolts on single-piston moving caliper models and new caliper bolts on dual-piston fixed caliper models.
1. Apply the handbrake, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it on stands. Remove the corresponding front wheel.
2. To reduce the loss of brake fluid, remove the cap from the reservoir of the brake system, close the neck of the reservoir with polyethylene and screw the cap back on. This is necessary so that the lid hermetically closes the replenishment tank. Alternatively, use a clamp to compress the brake hose leading to the caliper.
3. Clean the area around the brake hose connector and caliper. Loosen the coupling that secures the brake hose to the caliper.
4. Remove the brake pads.
5. On single piston caliper models, remove the top guide pin bolt. Then unscrew the caliper from the brake hose and remove it from under the car.
6. On models with two piston fixed caliper, remove the two bolts securing the caliper holder to the steering knuckle. Remove the caliper and unscrew it from the brake hose. At installation it is necessary to use new bolts of fastening of a support to a rotary fist.
