Front Disc Brake - Front Disc Brake
Description and Operation


The brake disc is mounted on the wheel studs and is clamped between the wheel and hub. Cooling ducts run through the
center of the brake disc to provide the required ventilation to keep the disc cool under operating conditions.
The caliper carrier, which is se cured to the vertical link by two bolts, carries the single-pis ton caliper housing. The caliper
housing is secured to the caliper carrier by two guide-pins and an anti-rattle spring. When the brakes are applied the
caliper-housing piston pushes th e brake pad in front of it, towards the brake di sc. This movement forces the caliper housing
to move along the guide-pins, in the oppo site direction of the piston, to apply the second brake pad. The brake disc is
therefore gripped between the two pads. As brake pressure is increased the grip on the brake disc is increased to slow-down
the rotation of the road wheel.
The disc brakes requ ire no adjustment.

AUTIONS:
The Brembo caliper is aligned to the brak e disc when it is first installed to the vehicle, therefore, care must be taken
not to disturb this alignment. When removi ng the caliper; remove the bolts that secure the anchor bracket to the vertical
link only. DO NOT loosen any other caliper bolts.
Do not loosen bolts securing brake disc to disc mounting.
Brembo calipers and discs provide higher -performance braking using the existing hydraulic braking system. The brakes are
installed to the vehicle using unique vertical links, hubs, hydraulic hoses and disc shields.
The front brake disc consists of a ventilated, cross-drilled disc, bolted to a disc carrier. The disc assemb ly is mounted on the
wheel studs and clamped be tween the wheel and hub.
A unique feature of the front disc is th e slanted (non radial) ventilation webs which lean the opposite-way to the disc's
direction of rotation. This design enables he at generated by the disc to be dispersed by air entering at the disc's center and
being forced outwards through the cooling ducts.
Due to the use of fixed calipers in place of the standard floating caliper, certain lateral dimensions on the vertical link and

hub are critical to achieve correct clearan
ce and operation of
the brakes. Therefore special vertical links and hubs set within
a certain tolerance are inst alled with Brembo brakes.
The front discs are handed and must be fitt ed to the correct side of the vehicle. The left-hand disc can be identified by a
groove running around the circumference of the outer disc wall as shown in the illustration below.
Left hand disc - identification mark

Modified disc shields are installed to accommodate the larger diameter discs.
The four cylinder brake caliper is rigidly attached to the vert ical link via an anchor bracket. The caliper is a split assembly
with each side of the caliper, housing two pistons. The two-pairs of opposed pistons act direct ly on the brake pads mounted
one each side of the disc.
Stainless steel hydraulic hoses connect the calipers to the existi ng brake tubes. It is important that these hoses are aligned
correctly when installed to pr event them fouling on the steering and suspen sion components. Refer to operation 70.55.24
for information.
The Brembo disc brakes require no adjustment.
