Removing the brake calipers
Check the condition of the brake lines, the gaskets and
the related connections. Should any fluid leak onto the
calipers, replace them by following these steps:
- Empty the circuit as previously described for the
brake fluid renewal.
- Remove the caliper pipe connection shown in the
figure.
- Collect any fluid residues left in the pipe.
- Remove the two screws fixing the caliper to the
support.
- Remove the caliper.
- Remove the brake pads from the caliper as previ-
ously described.
- Replace the caliper with a new one and then follow
the reverse procedure to the removal.
Note:
Fit new copper gaskets on the connection.
- Tighten the two fixing screws with the prescribed
torque.
- Complete the operation by filling and bleeding the
circuit.
- Use the same procedure for the three calipers, the
only difference being that the rear brake caliper must
be removed from the vehicle together with its support.
This is obtained by loosening the two screws shown
in the figure after removing the rear wheel as de-
scribed in Chapter 6-Front and rear suspensions.
Tightening torque:
Screws fixing caliper to support: 20 - 25 N·m
