Attention: There are different versions of the brake caliper. Therefore, using the drawings, you should first find out what version of the calipers are installed on your car. This chapter only describes the differences from the FS-II/FS-III disc brakes. All installation and safety instructions for the Lucas brake are the same.
Removing
Holding the guide pin with an open-end wrench, unscrew the lower bolt -9- of the caliper housing, see figure V-4429.
Tilt the caliper body up.
On vehicles with a brake pad wear sensor, disconnect the plug connector of the sensor, see instructions for the brake caliper FS-II brakes.
Remove the brake pads from the housing and remove the heat shield from the piston.
Remove the retaining springs for the brake pads.
Installation
Insert the heat shield into the piston so that the brake pads fit into the hole in the caliper body.
Insert new brake pad retaining springs.
Insert brake pads. Make sure that the brake pads are located within the boundaries of the holding surfaces.
Tilt the brake caliper down. Holding the guide pin with an open end wrench, tighten the new self-locking bolt -9- of the caliper housing to 30 Nm, see drawing V-4429.
If fitted, connect the brake pad wear sensor connector and attach it to the spring strut holder.
Follow all other installation instructions, see instructions for the caliper FS-II brakes.
