BRAKE PADS

REMOVAL

If brake fluid reservoir is at max. level, remove filter and partially empty it using a clean syringe.
Parking brake cable removal from bracket
  • Disengage parking brake.
  • Disconnect battery negative terminal.
  • Position vehicle onto lift.
  • Loosen wheel nuts and remove rear wheels.
  • Remove parking brake cable terminal (1) from bracket (2).
Brake caliper cable removal
  • Remove parking brake cable terminal (4) from brake caliper (3).
  • Remove handbrake cable from caliper body (a).
Remove lower screw
  • Loosen lower screw (5) with a wrench in point (b).
  • Turn brake caliper (3) up.
Brake pad removal
  • Remove brake pads (7) and pad abutment shims (6).
  • Check brake pad wear evenness to detect any caliper fault.
 

ASSEMBLY

  • Visually check sealing around brake caliper piston and the conditions of protective caps.
  • Turn clockwise and press brake caliper piston using a special tool to make it move back.

Remark:
During this operation, visually check brake fluid inside reservoir to prevent any leakage.

When changing brake pads, also change brake pad abutment shims.
  • Fit new pad abutment shims and pads.
  • Re-position brake caliper and tighten the (new) fastening bolts to a torque of 35 Nm.
  • Refit parking brake cable into original location.
  • Fit rear wheels (and re-torque nuts) and remove vehicle from lift.
Carry out the operations after battery re-connection.
  • With engine running press brake pedal several times, slowly and progressively until brake pedal feels firm.
  • Check brake fluid level and top up, if necessary.
  • Adjust parking brake
  • Fill up and bleed braking system, if necessary.

BRAKE DISCS

Electric parking brake can be adjusted only using a diagnosis tester compatible with that of the manufacturer.

  • Layout of parking brake cables.
  • Calibrate parking brake (follow all the steps described by the diagnosis tester).
  • Read and delete any stored DTC.
  • Operate parking brake control and check that rear wheels are safely locked.
It is strictly forbidden to open an electric parking brake assembly after sale. If an electric parking brake fault is detected, the whole unit must be replaced.
Electric parking brake assembly
  • 1. Primary cable
  • 2. Electric parking brake unit
  • 3. Electric parking brake secondary cables

Remark:
In case of total system failure, such as battery fault or electric parking brake fault, system can be manually disen- gaged using the special tool supplied with the vehicle tool kit.
