The brake pads will require replcement when the lining thickness reaches
a
minimum
of
1/
16in. This can be easily determined by removing the pad
from the caliper. First detach the aluminium cover from the caliper by
removing
the two retaining screws. Then remove both the split pins
"8"
(See Fig. 3) and pull out both the pads
"D",
If
any
part of the lining material
is
below the minimum thickness the pad
will require replacement. When filling new pads push the actuating
plungers
in the caliper back slightly
to
allow sufficient clearance for the
new
pads
to
be inserted. Remember as mentioned earlier if
at
any time
during the life of the
old pads the fluid was replenished at the master
cylinder the
level will rise in the cylinder and will spill out when new pads
are assembled. When new pads are fitted it
is
advisable to use new split
pins.
