Brake Carrier Replacement

11 Carrier Replacement

Depending on the installation, it may be possible to remove
the caliper from the carrier and replace the carrier in situ.
Else it may be necessary or more convenient to remove
the complete carrier/calliper assembly from the vehicle
where it can be separated and the carrier replaced.
Note: The disc brake is very heavy, take great care in
handling!
Do not fasten any lifting device to the pad retainer (11)
since this can be damaged.
Note: The carrier is fitted to the vehicle according to
the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and with bolts
supplied by the vehicle manufacturer – they are not avail-
able from Knorr-Bremse.

See section 8 as applicable:
Either:

11.1 Remove caliper from carrier.
11.2 Replace carrier – ensure new bolts and correct
torques are used.
11.3 Refit caliper to carrier.
Or:
11.1 Remove caliper/carrier assembly.

11.2 Replace carrier.
11.3 Refit caliper/carrier assembly – ensure new bolts and
correct torques are used.
