These were rubbed down and painted with High Temperature Paint. Be careful when refitting old brake pipes back on to the caliper, remembering the Brake Fluid will pour over the new painted calipers - can be a little frustrating especially if one needs to thoroughly clean them before repainting them again.- See diary notes.

By following the images above or previous page, in reverse order, start reinstalling components, when ready to insert the brake pads follow the next procedure:

1. Remove Spring and disconnect Brake Sensor, (if applicable to the wheel you are working on)

2. Remove caps off sliding bolts at the back of the caliper use ratchet to unbolt the sliding bolts and retract

3. Slide off the Caliper & pull out
the pad from inside the Piston
Support the Caliper with a bungee cord, or coat hanger wire keeping the weight off the connected rubber brake pipe

Loosen the cap on your Brake fluid Reservoir under your bonnet/hood if haven't already done so - Note: When brake piston is retracted the levels in the reservoir will rise, one may wish to keep an eye on the levels preventing spillage of brake fluid, place a rag to protect the paintwork under the bonnet/hood

6. Check there is no debris behind the rubber - check condition, one may wish to use a light amount of silicon base grease around the piston, if satisfied, retract the brake piston back into it's housing.
If cannot retract piston, try loosening the bleed nipple slightly,
some fluid may leak from the nipple.

8. Slide other pad onto the brake pad cradle using the hooks on the top and bottom of the pad

10. You may wish to secure the caliper with one sliding bolt during reconnecting the brake sensor as they can be awkward, this allows for an easier access, on completions - Return both sliding pins and tighten to correct torque, check they are correctly positioned. Return the dust caps.

Top up brake fluid 'Reservoir' with brake fluid
if required, make sure the road wheel and bolts are all accounted for, tight to correct torque.

Follow the same procedure for the other side of the car, removal of wheel and replace the brake pads and, (sensor if applicable).

For the rear brake system, the process is the same for changing pads however, the handbrake shoes may also require changing, this does require a further process - see the next page...

11. Replace Brake Sensor or reinstall old one if haven't already done so, sometimes they are reusable depending on the amount of wear - If not, replace.

Note: One recommends reading the diary first and then linking to workshop notes to maintain the continuity of the theme...
