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

A new brake hose must be installe d when replacing a brake caliper.
The brake pad adhesive backing must not be reused, therefore always install new brake pads, irrespective of the
condition of the original pads when replacing a brake caliper. Always replace brake pads as an axle set.
