- release the brake pads from the packaging and install both pads in the caliper support;

- lift up the caliper and re-secure with the safety pin and clamp;

- carry out the rest of the installation operations in the reverse order;

- Check up level of a brake liquid in a tank;

- actuate the brake pedal several times so that the brake pads get used to the brake disc.
