Attention: For vehicles with the TEVES MK II brake system, it is necessary to create pressure in it before opening it. To do this, turn the key in the ignition switch to position 0 and press the brake pedal until (at least 20 times) the resistance to pressing the pedal increases significantly.
Removal
Mark the position of the wheel on the hub with paint. This will allow the balanced wheel to be installed again in its original position.
When loosening the wheel nuts, the vehicle should stand on its wheels.
Raise the front of the car onto jack stands.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the brake pads, see p. 112.
If the piston housing does not need to be removed, it should be suspended from a spring using a wire so that the brake hose is not twisted or stretched.
If the piston housing needs to be removed, the brake hose must be unscrewed from it.
Caution: Brake fluid will leak out. Collect the brake fluid in a bottle intended exclusively for brake fluid. After assembly, air must be bled from the brake system.
Remove the 2 mounting bolts and remove the brake shoe guide from the pivot support.
Installation
If the piston housing was removed, screw on the brake hose. Install a new sealing gasket, tighten the connecting bolt to 35 Nm.
Attach the brake shoe guide and tighten both mounting bolts to the pivot support to a torque of 60 Nm.
Caution: The brake hose must not be twisted during installation.
Install the brake pads, see page 112.
If the brake system has been opened, remove air from the brake system, see p. 117.
Place the front wheels so that the marks made before removal match. Tighten the wheels with nuts. Lower the car and tighten the wheel nuts crosswise to 100 Nm.
Caution: Press the brake pedal hard repeatedly with the vehicle stationary until you feel strong resistance.
Check the brake fluid level in the expansion tank and, if necessary, top up the tank to the MAX mark.
Turn the steering wheel in both directions until it stops and make sure that the brake hoses are not rubbing or pinched anywhere.
