with new one.

2. Always use genuine grade of pad. Do not

contaminate the pad surface with grease or oil.

3. Thoroughly clean the disc. If it is scored badly,

replacement of new pads alone do not give

optimum performance and service life. Hence

follow instructions as given in recondition the

disc.

4. If there is no visible deterioration in piston boot

guide (10) and guide rod (8), new pads can be

fitted.

5. Check for the condition of the spring pad (12)
