Removal and installation brake calipers (Opel Vectra A)

Removal

Remove the brake pads.

Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap.

Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid up to the bottom edge of the hole.

Screw the cap back on and seal the vent with tape. This is necessary to prevent brake fluid from spilling during subsequent work.



Disconnect the brake hose. Do not lose the sealing ring of the hollow bolt!

Attention! Carefully keep the area around the hose and support clean!

Loosen and remove the outer protective caps with a screwdriver.



Unscrew the two bolts and remove the caliper from the brake disc.



Disconnect the brake hose from the caliper and close it with a suitable plug.

Installation

Install the caliper and tighten its mounting bolts (for the front caliper - to 95 Nm, for the rear - to 80 Nm).

Pull the new protective caps onto the caliper until they stop. The caps should fit evenly against the caliper.

Connect the brake hose and tighten the hollow bolt to 40 Nm, using two new sealing rings. Tighten the rear caliper brake hose to 11 Nm. Check the caliper mount.

Install the brake pads.

Remove air from the brake system.
