the central floor.

Dismount the sheathe stops from the brake

plates.

Remove the secondary cables.

REMOUNTING

PRECAUTIONS 

TO BE RESPECTED 

WHEN

DISMOUNTIN

G – REMOUNTING A RECEIVER

OR A BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE

Due to security reasons, in order to avoid brake flexible hose twisting and the risk to get in

contact with the suspension elements, it is necessary to observe the following operations sequence,
as well as the flexible attachment on the wing lining by means of a stopper, positioned at 135 ± 2
mm, value to be measured from the connection screw of the rigid pipe with the flexible hose.

DISMOUNTING

Dismount the connection (1) of the rigid pipe (6) from the flexible hose (2) till the moment

when the spring (3) is relaxed, having releasing the splinted area (4) of the sustaining support (5).

Brake flexible hoses

Unscrew the flexible from the caliper and after that from the connection with the rigid pipe.

REMOUNTING

Assemble the caliper with the caliper fork.
Mount the caliper wedges and then tighten to the required moment the flexible on the caliper.
The flexible hoses must be tighten to the required moment with the rigid pipes, when the front

axle is in the position :

- symmetric wheels (mounted suspension);
- front axle in straight line.

REMARK :
Position the hexagonal area (4) of the flexible in the sustaining support (5) so that

it is not mounted twisted.

Mount the spring (3) and the connection of the rigid pipe on the flexible hose,

observing the required tightening moment.

Purge the brake circuit.

Brake pressure controller

REMARK :
Brake pressure controller is not to be repaired.

DISMOUNTING

Drain of fluid, the braking circuit.
Lift the vehicle by means of a two-column elevator.
Dismount the connection screws (1) of the rigid piping on the pressure controller.
Dismount the attachment nuts (2) of the pressure controller support on the carriage body.
Remove the support together with the pressure controller from the carriage body.
Dismount the pressure controller off the support.

REMOUNTING

Remount:

- pressure controller attachment screws on the support;
- attachment nuts of the pressure controller assembly on the carriage body;
- connection screws of the rigid piping on the pressure controller, observing the required

tightening moments.

Purge the braking circuit.
Adjust the pressure controller.
