Warning! Brake fluid will leak out. It should be collected in a specially designed bottle. After installation, the brake system must be bled.
4. If the brake hose remains connected, hang the top of the caliper by the wire from the body so that the brake hose is not twisted or stretched.
5. Unscrew the caliper from the steering knuckle (2 bolts).

Caution! If the brake hose has been removed, screw it on. The brake hose must not be twisted during installation. Place new gaskets, tighten the bolt with a force of 30 Nm.
