Good tutorial, but the spelling mistakes are a bit eye-catching.

Very good explanations!!!

Sébastien DAUXERRE - Resolved on Release Reply

good, good everything.

I will just add three things and more of the various points mentioned above:

- dust areas polluted by wafer dust

- pay attention to the liquid level in the jar when pushing the pistons back

- change the brake fluid if it is more than 2 years old, because this product is water-hungry (humidity) and loses its effectiveness.

Using pliers to push the piston back (step 13) can damage it. I recommend leaving an old pad in place and using it as a lever to push the piston back. Do this before reassembling the caliper.

If necessary, degrease new discs if they are stored “greasy”.

Putting thread lock on the caliper fixing screws would indeed be desirable knowing that certain screws supplied with the new pads may already be coated with thread lock.

Take advantage of this disassembly to check the condition of the brake hoses and possibly replace them if they are cracked or worn.
