Removal and installation friction linings (segments) and caliper of the C54-II disc wheel brake mechanism (Skoda Fabia 5J)

Contents: Installation ⬇ Tightening torques ⬇

Remove the wheel.

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 hose. When replacing the friction linings, it is necessary to replace the heat shield in the brake disc caliper and the flat lock washers for the friction linings.

Disconnect the plug connector of the brake lining wear indicator (if the car is equipped with it). Disconnect the brake line from the clamp on the wheel bearing cap. Loosen screw "1." Remove disc brake caliper "2" and secure it at the top so that its weight does not exert any load on the brake hose and, therefore, does not cause any damage.

Remove heat shield "2".

Remove the friction lining. Remove friction lining "4" in the direction of arrow "A" to the side and simultaneously in the direction of arrow "B" forward. Remove the flat lock washer for friction linings "3" and "5".

Installation

Installation is carried out in the reverse order of actions. In this case, the following instructions must be observed. Clean the disc brake caliper. Clean the contact areas of the flat lock washer for the friction lining on the caliper support, remove any corrosion that may be present. Press the piston in using the tool. Install the heat shield. Assembly position: The protrusion on the heat shield must be installed into the hole (slot) of the wheel brake caliper. Install a flat lock washer to hold the friction linings in place. Install friction linings. Install the disc brake caliper onto the caliper support. To do this, use new flange screws from the repair kit. After inserting the brake line into the clamp, secure it with a new clamp.

Connect the plug connector of the brake lining wear indicator (if the car is equipped with it). Install the wheel.

Important: After any replacement of the friction linings, it is necessary to firmly press the brake pedal with the vehicle stationary so that the friction linings return to their working position. After replacing the friction linings, you should check the brake fluid level and top up if necessary.
