Removing and installing rear brake disc
Tools





Preliminary work
Remove wheel.

Removing rear brake disc
1. Disconnect plug connection for brake pad wear indicator on wheel carrier.





2. Remove screw plug -arrow-. The adjustment device can be turned through this bore.





3. Turn the brake disc in such a way that the adjustment device becomes visible. With a -> see figure screwdriver through the bore, turn the adjustment device towards release.





4. Push brake pad back slightly and evenly with piston resetting fixture -direction arrow-.
5. Undo brake caliper on wheel carrier and hang it in a suitable place in the wheel well (do not open the brake hydraulics). But first pull out the electrical lines from the holder on the brake caliper and the brake pad wear line from the holder on the wheel carrier.
6. Remove brake disc after unscrewing the fastening screw. If necessary, remove the brake disc by tapping it gently with a rubber hammer.

Installing rear brake disc

2. Clean the leveling and centering surfaces on the brake disc and wheel hub. Then apply a very thin coat of Optimoly TA to the centering surface on the wheel hub.





3. Fit the brake disc. Observe tightening torque. ->46 Tightening torques for brake mechanics - chapter on Technical values.'





4. Adjust the brake shoes of the foot-operated parking brake with a -> see figure screwdriver.
5. Fit the brake caliper. Replace the brake caliper fastening screws after each removal. Observe tightening torque.
6. Position disc brake pads by operating the brake several times.





7. Check brake fluid level and correct if necessary. The brake fluid level must lie within the -> see figure MAX - MIN marking.
