Attention: For vehicles with a TEVES MK II brake system, pressurize it before opening it. To do this, turn the ignition key to position 0 and press the brake pedal until (at least 20 times), until the resistance to pressing the pedal increases greatly.
Withdrawal
Mark the position of the wheel on the hub with paint. Thanks to this, the balanced wheel can be installed again in its original position.
When loosening the wheel nuts, the vehicle must be on its wheels.
Raise the rear of the vehicle onto the stands.
Remove wheel.
Release the handbrake cable from the retaining clip at the lower transverse arm.
Disconnect the plug connector of the brake lining wear indicator sensor.
Remove the 2 bolts securing the brake shoe guide to the wheel bearing housing.
Disconnect the handbrake cable from the rocker arm and hang the brake caliper on the wire from the spring 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.
Warning: Brake fluid will leak out. Collect brake fluid in a bottle designed exclusively for brake fluid. After assembly, air must be bled from the brake system.
Installation
If removed, screw on the brake hose. Fit a new seal, tighten the connecting bolt to 35 Nm.
Fit the brake shoe guide and tighten both bolts to the bearing housing to 60 Nm.
Attention: The brake hose must not be twisted during installation.
Attach the handbrake cable with the retaining clip to the lower transverse arm.
If the brake system has been opened, remove air from the brake system, see p. 117.
Attach the rear wheels so that the marks applied before removal coincide. Tighten the wheels with nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts crosswise to 100 Nm.
Caution: Depress the brake pedal strongly repeatedly with the vehicle stationary until strong resistance is felt. As a result of this, the automatic clearance adjustment mechanism for the brake pads of the parking brake system is adjusted.
Check the brake fluid level in the expansion tank and, if necessary, top up the tank to the MAX mark.
Adjust the handbrake see p. 119.
