Introduction
Operation carried out on VW Polo III Restyled 1.4 i 60cv passenger side but it is identical on the driver side
-
-
Brake disc
-
Piston side pad
-
Insert a flathead screwdriver between the disc and the piston side pad and lever to push the piston back.
-
Once the piston is pushed back, check the brake fluid level which should be between ...
-
… the little one ….
-
…. and the maxi.
-
If the level exceeds the maximum, remove it with a syringe.
-
-
-
The 2 screws that hold the caliper are not the same length so remember to note their position.
-
Top screw
-
Bottom screw
-
-
-
Pull the top of the stirrup outward and then upward.
-
The undersides of the pads are different so remember to mark the location of each pad before disassembly and then remove them.
-
-
-
Using a clamp and a wooden wedge that you will position on the piston, push it back all the way.
-
It is possible to push the piston back completely from step 2 with the screwdriver.
-
The piston is not screwed in so you won't need a piston pusher, a clamp will do the trick.
-
Place the caliper on the shock absorber.
-
Make sure the brake hose is not stretched.
-
-
-
The disc is held in place by a screw that can be removed using a Phillips PH3 screwdriver.
-
-
-
Using a wire brush, clean the hub.
-
You can coat the face of the hub with a little copper grease to prevent the disc from "sticking" and thus facilitate future disassembly.
-
-
-
Using a wire brush, clean the pad guides.
-
Then spray some anti-noise to prevent whistling when braking.
-
-
-
Spray brake cleaner on the caliper to remove most of the dust.
-
Then clean it with a wire brush.
-
-
-
Spray anti-noise on all contact surfaces.
-
Do not spray on friction surfaces.
-
-
-
Spray brake cleaner on both sides of the disc.
-
Reposition the disc and secure it with the small screw supplied with the new disc.
-
Reposition the pads in the caliper by putting them in the correct places then secure the caliper with the 2 screws.
-
-
-
This is the noise canceller that I use and which is particularly effective.
-
Once reassembly is complete, press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads into contact with the discs.
-
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
-
To break in new pads, do not brake hard during the first 200 km.
-
The effectiveness of the first braking actions may be reduced.
