• Loosen lower screw (5) with a wrench in point (b).
• Turn brake caliper (3) up.
• Remove brake pads (7) and pad abutment shims (6).
• Check brake pad wear evenness to detect any
caliper fault.
ASSEMBLY
• Visually check sealing around brake caliper piston
and the conditions of protective caps.
• Turn clockwise and press brake caliper piston
using a special tool to make it move back.
Remark: During this operation, visually check brake
fluid inside reservoir to prevent any leakage.
WARNING
When changing brake pads, also
change brake pad abutment shims.
• Fit new pad abutment shims and pads.
• Re-position brake caliper and tighten the (new)
fastening bolts to a torque of 35 Nm.
• Refit parking brake cable into original location.
• Fit rear wheels (and re-torque nuts) and remove
vehicle from li.
WARNING
Carry out the operations aer
battery re-connection.
• With engine running press brake pedal several times,
slowly and progressively until brake pedal feels firm.
• Check brake fluid level and top up, if necessary.

• Disconnect battery negative terminal.
• Position vehicle onto li.
• Loosen fastening nuts and remove rear wheels.
• Remove brake pads (see dedicated procedure above).
• Remove fastening screw from brake caliper
hydraulic pipe fitting.
• Remove bolts from slide pins between brake
caliper and caliper mounting bracket.

conditions of protective caps.
• Turn clockwise to retract the caliper piston into the caliper
body using a special tool.
Remark: During this operation, visually check brake fluid
inside reservoir to prevent any leakage.
• Tighten brake caliper hydraulic pipe fitting screw to
manufactures torque.
ASSEMBLY
• Position brake disc with bearing onto rear bearing spindle
and tighten hub/bearing nut to the manufacturer’s torque.
• Position caliper mounting bracket onto rear suspension and
tighten the mounting bolts to manufactures torque.

WARNING
When changing brake pads, also change
pad abutment shims.
• Fit new brake pad abutment shims to the caliper bracket.
• Re-position brake caliper and tighten the (new) fastening
screw to a torque of 35 Nm.
• Re-attach parking brake cable.
• Fit rear wheels (and re-torque), remove vehicle from li.
WARNING
Carry out the operations aer battery
re-connection
• With engine running press brake pedal several times,
slowly and progressively until brake pedal feels firm.
• Check brake fluid level and top up, if necessary.
• Adjust parking brake.
• Fill up and bleed braking system, if necessary.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
ADJUSTMENT
Remark: Electric parking brake can be adjusted only using a
diagnosis tester compatible with that of the manufacturer.
• Layout of parking brake cables.
• Calibrate parking brake (follow all the steps described
by the diagnosis tester).
• Read and delete any stored DTC.
• Operate parking brake control and check that rear
wheels are safely locked.
WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to open an electric
parking brake assembly aer sale. If an
electric parking brake fault is detected,
the whole unit must be replaced.
Remark: In case of total system failure, such as battery fault
or electric parking brake fault, system can be manually disen-
gaged using the special tool supplied with the vehicle tool kit.
