1 General information
All models covered in this manual are fitted
with cast alloy wheels designed for tubeless
tyres only. Both front and rear brakes are
single hydraulically operated disc brakes, the
front being a sliding caliper design and the
rear an opposed caliper design.
Caution: Disc brake components rarely
require disassembly. Do not disassemble
components unless absolutely necessary.
If a hydraulic brake line is loosened, the
entire system must be disassembled,
drained, cleaned and then properly filled
and bled upon raassembly. Do not use
solvents on internal brake components.
Solvents will cause the seals to swell and
distort. Use only clean brake fluid or
denatured alcohol for cleaning. Use care
when working with brake fluid as it can
injure your eyes and it will damage painted
surfaces and piastic parts.
2 Front brake pads -
replacement
Lh. Warning: The dust created by
, the brake system may contain
. asbestos, which is harmful to
your health. Never blow it out
with compressed air and don't inhale any
of it. An approved filtering mask should be
worn when worlclng on the brakes.

the brake caliper mounting bolts and slide the
caliper off the disc (see Illustration 3.2a).
Slide the caliper out on its sliders until the
inner pad can be lifted off its guide pins on the
caliper mounting bracket (see Illustration).
Remove the outer pad from the caliper body,
noting how the protrusion on each end of the
pad locates against the guide. Also note how
the pad spring is fitted and remove it if
required.
2 On T and V models, unscrew the brake
caliper mounting bolts and slide the caliper off
the disc. Remove the split pin from the end of
the pad retaining pin, then withdraw the pad
pin. Remove the outer pad from the caliper
body, noting how the protrusion on the end of
the pad locates against the guide. Lift the
inner pad off its guide pin on the caliper
mounting bracket, noting how it fits.
3 Inspect the surface of each pad for
contamination and check that the friction
material has not worn beyond its wear limit.
The original equipment pads feature a wear
indicator step on K, L, M, N, P, Rand S
models or cutout on T and V models. Refer to
Chapter 1 Brake pads - wear check and
replace both pads as a set if either pad has
worn down to, or beyond, the limit.
Additionally, replace the pads if they are
fouled with oil or grease, or heavily scored or
damaged by dirt and debris. Note that it is not
possible to degrease the friction material; if
the pads are contaminated in any way they
must be replaced.
4 If the pads are in good condition clean them
carefully, using a fine wire brush which is
completely free of oil and grease to remove all
traces of road dirt and corrosion. Using a
pointed instrument, clean out the grooves in
the friction material and dig out any
embedded particles of foreign matter. Any
areas of glazing may be removed using emery
cloth.
S Check the condition of the brake disc (see
Section 4).
8 On T and V models, remove all traces of
corrosion from the pad pin. Inspect ttle pin for
signs of damage and replace if necessary.
7 Push the pistons as far back into the caliper
as possible using hand pressure only. Due to
the increased friction material thickness of
new pads, it may be necessary to remove ttle
master cylinder reservoir cover and
diaphragm and siphon out some fluid.
8 Smear the backs of the pads and the shank
of the pad pin (T and V models only) with
copper-based grease, making sure ttlat none
gets on the front or sides of the pads.
9 On K, L. M, N, P, Rand S models, installation
of the pads is the reverse of removal. Make sure
the pad spring and guides are correctly
positioned (see illustration). Insert the pads
into the caliper so that the friction material of
each pad will be facing the disc (see
~

"
Lift the inner pad until it clears its pins,
then remove it from the caliper
