Important!
* Brake pad wear sensor: after removal it must be replaced (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention capability in the break pad).
* Retaining spring: for vehicles older than 48 months it is recommended to replace the retaining spring!
So as not to damage the surface coating, if possible do not mechanically clean the guide surfaces for the brake pads on the brake calliper mounting
bracket. Instead, clean with brake cleaner

Check minimum brake disc thickness:
- Position special tool 34 1 280 at three measuring points in area (1) and measure.
- Compare measurement result and lowest value with setpoint value.
Important!
New brake pads may only be fitted if the brake disc thickness is greater than the minimum brake disc thickness (MIN TH).
