Removal and installation friction linings (segments) — disc brake mechanism (Skoda Fabia 5J)

Contents: Installation ⬇ Tightening torques ⬇

Important: When removing, mark the friction linings that you will be using again. They must be reinstalled in the same location, otherwise braking action will be uneven! When replacing the friction linings, do not unscrew the brake line from the disc brake caliper.

Remove the wheel. Disconnect the plug connector of the brake lining wear indicator (if the car is equipped with it - only the right side of the car). Loosen clamp "1" with a screwdriver and remove it downwards. By pressing the brake lever "2" in the direction of the arrow, unhook the parking brake system drive cable "3".

Remove the locking screws from the disc brake caliper support while holding the guide pins. After removing the disc brake caliper, secure it with a wire so that its weight does not exert any load on the brake hose and, thus, does not damage it.

Remove the friction linings and retaining springs "arrows".

Important: To clean the disc brake caliper housing, use only alcohol. The surface of the friction linings for gluing must be free of any residue of the original adhesive and grease.

Clean the disc brake caliper.

Installation

Important: Before you begin to press the piston, you should drain the brake fluid from the expansion tank using a container to remove air. To push the piston back in, use a piston reversing tool. By pressing the piston using the piston reverse adjustment tool, the automatic adjustment in the disc brake caliper is disrupted.

Screw the piston into the caliper by turning the knurled handwheel of the reverse adjustment device, being careful not to damage the cuff.

In the case of a stiff piston, it may be possible to use an open-end wrench on the designated areas "arrow A". Insert new friction lining retaining springs "arrows" and friction segments into the disc brake caliper support.

Remove the protective film from the rear surface of the friction lining.

Important: The spare part kit also contains four self-locking screws that must be used.

Secure the disc brake caliper to the caliper support with new self-locking screws. When tightening, hold the guide pins.
